She Shall Be Praised

This passage has haunted women for 3,000 years. How can anyone meet this amazingly high standard??

The goal is not Perfection

The goal is Direction

Passionately pursuing these things

You CAN achieve that and BE that amazing woman that God calls you to be.

This is the first thing Proverbs tells us about the Woman to Be Praised

1. She is Excellent and Trustworthy

2. She Runs the Home

3. She’s Compassionate

4. She’s Prepared

5. A Blessing to Her Husband

6. Wisdom

7. Admired & Praised by Her Family

8. Yahweh Honors the Woman who Fears Him

Take the next step toward greater pursuit.

Pursue these things:

1. Biblical Wisdom

Understand how Proverbs 31, 1 Timothy 2, Ephesians 5, and 1 Peter 3 all work together. 

2. Graciousness

3. Strength with Submission

Who is the most submissive person ever to live? 

Who is the strongest person ever to live?
The answer is the same: Jesus

4. Singular Devotion

When you’re singularly devoted to your husband, and his good, he knows it. Not nit-picking, tearing him down, shaming him, complaining about him. etc.

Win his trust by demonstrating your devotion to him

5. Fear Yahweh

a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.

Devotion to God is the central organizing factor in all of this. 

All of these things flow out of that.

We glorify God NOT when we attain perfection, but when we’re in passionate pursuit of Him

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

And we are most satisfied in Him when we are pursuing His will for our lives, pursuing greater alignment to His Word.

Let’s pray…
