Out of Order?

[jackie d]

WOW, no one said that women couldn't do the same job as men. Although, I would surmise that if women stayed at home with their children there would not be the problems we have with children and there would not be so many men out of work, unable to support their families. But that's for another thread. Proverbs 31:10-31

you are kidding right? especially the part about women staying home so that men can work....do you live in the US? Have kids? ever been divorced or knocked up a woman and then left her behind with the kids?...should that woman stay home too, so that the man who left her desolate can have a job yet fail to pay child support?

you bet this thread is about order. And it is funny to see that some things don't change. Adam blamed God and Eve for his sin, and man still does the same today.

You are right about one thing though, real women should get to stay home and raise their children. Especially those who have sons so they can be raised to be real men who take proper care of the woman they decide to marry and the children they rear. Ones that haven't been so coddled by their mother that they think that is what a woman was placed on the earth to do-bow and scrape.

You think I am a man!

sorry it sounded a lot like something a man might say.

Let it go dear and just focus on the Scriptures, 'K?

I was kind enough to respect you and not call you vicki again....kindly stop calling me dear and sweetie..."K"?

Shalom Jackie,

This is the only time you've ever mentioned you didn't like it.

Of course, I'll respect your request.

I am aware of what the point is and I made it perfectly clear to those who are listening to me that I would love to be the woman in Proverbs 31 as I am sure many would.

Shalom Jackie,

I'm sure we ALL would. I don't know how many real women can say that they ARE that woman.

In fact, I see the Proverbs 31 woman in different seasons of her life, not all at once.

[jackie d]

nicely put. we are in agreement.

So ...the proverbial virtuous woman...

How is it we are out of order with her example to us...

[Guest Biblicist]

The Proverbs 31 woman took care of her husband's needs first, then home, and everything else, including work came after that. Notice what order she places care of herself...

I believe the lesson if the Proverbs 31 woman is not "How much can one woman do in a day?" but "What order would God have you put your priorities into?" God's order, of course!

Shalom Bib,

Excellent points.

I also believe as I posted before, that the Proverbs 31 woman is a composite of different seasons in our lives, not all the same time.

Very likely, Vickilynn, who could do all of those things, purchase, plant, grow, harvest, and sell produce from a field in one day!
