Proverbs 25:2-3


It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable.

The Proverbs 31 Bride of Christ

This is short, meant to provoke thought, contemplation and meditation...
Proverbs 31 describes the virtuous woman, the best of best of wives.
Traditionally this scripture is applied to women in the church; an example of how the Christian wife should be and what her traits are.  And I most definitely agree with that.
However, as with most things in the Word, there are multiple applications of the scriptures.
So what if we apply this chapter to the Bride of Christ?  She is a wife.  Her husband sits at the gate; He is the shepherd that is the door to the sheep.
On a spiritual level, can you apply these verses to yourself?  Does your character align with what the Bride of Christ should look like?  Can your husband trust you?  Do you do Jesus good and not evil all the days of your life?
This is a lot to think about...
