Proverbs 31:26
" She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."
Most of the topic in the chapter on the "excellent wife" is about what she does. She has and industrious spirit and dutiful hands. She works hard (from morning to night) and looks to serve others. Most of the verses address these great character qualities. The above proverb, however, tells us that this women is not just a busy entrepreneur. She is also a teacher of truth and a conveyor of kindness. This is a women who takes time to teach others the qualities of God and the qualities she is already stated as possessing. In the first part of the chapter is her walk and in this proverb is her talk. They match!! She was a women of character in her actions and a women of character in her speech and teaching. She can teach kindness because he was kind. She can teach about wisdom because she demonstrates wisdom. It should be noted that she was willing to step into this role, as well. She may have felt comfortable making clothes for her family, buying fields, planting and harvesting and doing all the things necessary to keep her husband and family in comfort. But, she was also willing to step into the role of teacher and be up front in her community. This is not a women who shirked her responsibility of teaching others the truths of God. She was not one dimensional. She was just as comfortable working as she was teaching and teaching as she was working. She was indeed a virtuous women in all arenas. Whatever God had for her she was willing and equipped by God to complete faithfully with the abilities God gave her.
My 2026 Theme Verses: Psalms 145:4-7 (ESV) One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of your majesty, and on your wondrous works, I will meditate. They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness. They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
