As we study Proverbs we have this great hope that one greater than Solomon has come. His name is Jesus. (Matthew 12:42)
So where King Lemuel’s mother asked with longing, “A wife of valor, who can find?” Jesus is preparing for himself a bride without spot or wrinkle or blemish. Jesus is greater than the writers of Proverbs: They knew what an excellent wife looked like, Jesus makes her.
And what that means for believers in Jesus who look at the Proverbs 31 Woman is that we do not need to stare and be intimidated. As we sweat and labor to live a life of wisdom that flows out of knowing our Savior, it is God himself at work within us. He will bring to completion the good work he has begun. He will present a Bride to himself in all radiance and splendor and glory.
