THE EGO Ivy Informer

emphasizes that one recurring word is the comparison of wisdom to a woman. This woman is strong
and outspoken; she shouts in
the streets (1:20). In the long passage found in the thirty-first chapter we learn still more about her.

She explains how verse after verse of the scripture affirms our identity as women. The woman
we see in Proverbs 31 is committed to her relationships; her husband and children depend on her and
are blessed by her. She works hard and efficiently, with initiative and creativity. She knows how to
use her skills to make money, but she also reaches out to those in need. She takes of herself as well.

Additionally, the author emphasizes that each detail is not meant to describe a specific woman.
She states, “We don’t need to add them to our to-do list!” Instead, Proverbs 31shows us a greater
picture of what we all are capable of being, as women. It’s like a mirror God holds up for us to look
into—and then he says, “See? This is who I created you to be.” As women, God calls us to embody
love and wisdom. Each of us will do that differently, with our unique skills and individual strengths—
but we all have amazing things to offer the world. Sorors, we are women who give our offerings and
many of our offerings are made through our Service to All Mankind! I am humbled by your
continuous execution and service by Launching New Dimensions of Service throughout our
Huntsville and Madison County communities. Thank you for your continued commitment of Service
to All Mankind.
