In Her Image: Character Study of the Proverbs 31 WomanНамуна

Character Trait: Instructs

In Proverbs 31:26, the Proverbs 31 woman not only speaks with wisdom but also offers faithful instruction. This instruction is rooted in love, experience, and truth and is meant to guide others in a way that helps them grow and thrive. Her words are filled with compassion, patience, and a deep understanding of what is good and true. She speaks not for her own benefit but to nurture and build up others.

This verse challenges us to reflect on how we offer instruction in our own lives. Whether in family, work, or friendships, our words should guide others with love, wisdom, and humility. Faithful instruction isn’t about perfection but about consistently pointing others toward truth and helping them grow in their relationship with God.

Application: Reflecton your relationships and consider where you can offer faithful instruction. Is there someone in your life who could benefit from your guidance? Choose one conversation where you can offer wisdom and encouragement grounded in God’s love and truth. Whether it’s a friend, family member, or colleague, use your words to guide and uplift them.
