Yes! Praise god Almighty! His glory is shown through the generations of those that do his Will. I’ve been doing a “Woman of God” study and it has brought out great names like Esther, Deborah, Phoebe, Tabitha, etc; women whose trust and total confidence is in the Lord.
“The Lord is my confidence” (King David. These are women surrendered to His Mighty and Powerful Willand His Glory shines through illuminating every aspects of their lives and utilizing their God-given talents and skills like their faith and intellect all in submission to God’s Will.
I especially liked the part where she is comands respect in the marketplace.

I understand your dislike for this passage. I hated this women for years. In fact, my sermon starts out: “Aah the Proverbs 31 woman, let me count the ways I hate thee.”

But so much does jump out as you read it and see what is actually there instead of what the patriarchs want to be there.

Shawna,
One of the things that doesn’t jump out is that she is happy! She likes what she’s doing. She laughs, she is wise and speaks kindly and her husband trusts her. The fact that she deals openly with merchants and makes her own land purchases means she commands respect from men other than her husband, doesn’t it? She is not the least concerned about status – but is that because she already has it by marriage or birth? – and she is a very good manager.
If we can understand that she is an example to men and women alike in today’s world, then this reading becomes meaningful for me again. My dislike for it has known no bounds up until now.
