An excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.
She is far more precious than jewels.
Proverbs 31:10 ESV
Did you know that the tribute to the woman in Proverbs 31:10-31 is a Hebrew abecedarian poem? Each line starts with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet. I have been mulling this passage over lately. Such praise, such accomplishment is too wonderful for me. I used to think I could live up to every aspect of the poem. But as I grow wiser, I realize I will never accomplish half of her feats, and not even sure I want to anymore.
However, as I was thinking about an excellent wife, my mind wandered over to the metaphor of Christ calling us His bride. This thought inspired my own abecedarian declaration of the kind of woman I want to be for my Savior!
