The “worthy woman”; what title. Everyone who has some knowledge of the Bible has heard this phrase. Almost everyone can quote a catchy phrase or saying from the Bible, whether it's Psalms, Proverbs, or any other book. We all know these verses that tend to stick in our minds. As catchy as they may be, unless one can truly understand what is being said and apply it to one's life, these catchy phrases can only be superficial knowledge. Every Christian can fall into this trap. When someone considers a Bible passage, he should try to learn everything he can about that passage; any basic information, the meaning of certain words, who the author is. The knowledge one can gain from the Bible is endless. Another problem when studying the Bible is when people use their “knowledge” of the Bible to make themselves appear to be better Bible students. The Pharisees did this all the time. We should not pride ourselves on the knowledge we gain from the Bible and constantly try to acquire more and share it with others.

The title of Proverbs 31 is “The Words of King Lemuel.” An oracle that his mother taught him (ESV). “The exact identity of King Lemuel is unknown. Many comments suggest that although ...... middle of paper ...... pass because it gives me something to strive for as a woman. It's easy to understand and practical. Having this woman as an example of what a godly and virtuous woman should look like should give us no excuse not to continually strive to be like her in every way. We should try to dwell on these qualities and bring them into our lives, until these qualities become our lives and we are praised for the good we do.
