The Meaning of Proverbs 31 --- Ryan O’Dowd

[@LiseVocalfreedom]

Thank you! It never occurred to me that she WORKED! I had always read it as if she was a suppressed stay at home mum. But she is.a wise, independent businesswoman; in a society where women were dependent on men for survival! She bought a vineyard with her own money; women didn't own land at that time. This chapter shows us God doesn't want women to be weak or suppressed by men. He wants us to be wise and strong think for ourselves.

I didn't read "independent" in proverbs or his commentary, only that she is industrious, and supports her family not financially, but by making herself indespensible.

Please I'm requesting more videos such as this information please Highly educational. And yes this applies to men and women. I experienced it and almost losing my marriage. Thank you Holy Spirit for allowing my husband for my husband recovering from his health issues but I don't want to be a widow. I haven't even had a chance to be a wife. Thank you Holy Spirit for sustaining my husband's health. The family unity is very important and there's always something out there in the world that want tries to divide the family

The fear of the Lord. I cannot speak for anyone. And it's not my fault that I had a mother and father that taught me that the only thing that I should fear is our Lord. Amen

Very helpful for understanding proverbs 31

[@mariasalas8475]

My mother said that this is what her three daughters needed to do. My mother said she want to hear that her three daughters were running the streets. Our mother said that she had brought three women into the world. Not three headaches.. that there was plenty of things to do at the house why are you running streets... All of us all of us have learned to stay home but still be productive in the in the world. Women have the tendency to find the balance. Even when our World sometimes gets a little bit unbalance. At the end of the day the Lord knows what happens in a home. And the Lord knows Best

Thank you dear brother for sharing this with us. I have read Proverbs 31 but you brought it to life for me. I have a question, why do we no longer call our Heavenly Father Yahweh?

[@jorgebayona8584]

I came here for clarity on this chapter left more confused than before 🥴

[@saturnismine8347]

Amen 🙏🏻 brother

For a text that is thousands of years old I would never say that someone who said something only a 500 years ago was the first to have that thought. He may have been the first in along time to say something out loud but not the first. Past that good message.

Love it! The Jewish book: Sirach. Because we all know that Proverbs, Psalms, Lamentations.. are definitely not Jewish, they're Christian books!

[@junenothere]

Amen

I don’t understand. Why are you skipping that she make clothes and sells them. Buys property. Trades. Is that not entrepreneurship?

@Zondervan proverbs 31:11 is the most important verse in the chapter

[@mcdiamond2463]

@Zondervan matthew 5:28 the word “woman” is a mistranslation from the greek. its actually supposed to be “wife”. it may be written, but it was never spoken
