Proverbs 31 Woman (Part 2)

Let's recap:

A woman who fears the Lord is a rare and precious thing. She is trustworthy, she is good and kind always, she works and serves joyfully and willingly, she is dependable, diligent, wise, and discerning.

And on that note, let's continue.

17 She girds herself with strength and makes her arms strong.
In other translations, this verse reads: "She is energetic and strong, a hard worker" (NLT); "First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started" (Message); "She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks" (NIV); "She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong" (ESV). I think that this individual verse says a lot about the character of a true woman of God. I must be energetic, strong, hard-working, eager, thorough, willing, diligent, persistent, and driven. And those are just a few.
18 She senses that her gain is good; her lamp does not go out at night.
Again, emphasizing some of the characteristics I mentioned before, in addition to being frugal, conscientious, wise, sensible, and logical.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, and her hands grasp the spindle.
Again: hard-working, diligent, thorough, etc.
20 She extends her hand to the poor, and she stretches out her hands to the needy.
A woman of God is compassionate, loving, generous, selfless, kind, good, and aware. Her attention extends beyond that of herself and her family. She is a giver.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
A woman of God plans ahead and provides accordingly. Her focus is not simply on the here-and-now, but also on what is to come. She is well-prepared and meets the needs of her family.
22 She makes coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
A woman of God is self-sufficient.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.
To be honest, I'm a little hesitant to exegete this verse. It could probably be interpreted specifically as well as more generally. What I will say is that a woman of God and her family are recognized as respectable.

[Some of this may seem brief, and I agree that I'm leaving plenty of room for a much more in-depth analysis. But I'm doing this for me, and the things I'm learning from this are just right for where I'm at. Just saying.]
