Proverbs 31 Woman part five

In Proverbs 31 verses 14 & 15, we learn that this Godly woman will put much effort into purchasing,  preparing, & serving food to her family & to her servant girls. We read," She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark and provides food for her family & her servant girls." My first thought is to compare our culture, in which households typically do not hire servants to other cultures where the practice is common. I think there are many countries where young women in need of a job would be glad to do household duties for a kind caring family. I believe the Proverbs woman cares about her servant girls & sees that they are well fed. The Proverbs woman demonstrates that she works as hard as anyone by rising at night. We will read on to discover that she is a successful business woman in addition to her family & homemaking duties & she needs hired help in order to facilitate her large economic contribution to her family, her servants, & the needy. No, we do not find this woman lazily lounging in luxury. She is joyfully industrious & blesses her family, her servants, & the needy by caring for their practical needs.  More to come.....Love & prayers, in Jesus, Cynthia
