Proverbs 31:30- Fear the Lord

Hello, again readers. Today we are looking at my favourite verse in the Bible-Proverbs 31:30. It's from my favourite passage in the Bible-Proverbs 31:10-31.

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.-Proverbs 31:30


This verse is pretty much straight forward. Well, it's meaning straight forward, yes. Actually fearing the Lord, pretty hard. Today in our world, you are judged by your outward appearance. Your inner appearance, who cares, no one sees it. Except God. God sees all and God knows all. We can't hide anything from God, especially our inside. According to Dictionary.com 'fleeting' means 'passing swiftly; vanishing quickly; transient; transitory.' So, beauty is 'vanishing quickly' and 'passing swiftly.' Apparently though, a woman who fears the Lord will be praised. We will be praised if we fear the Lord. (Now for any guys who are reading this, this still applies to you.) If we give reverence to God, worship Him, and follow after Him with our whole heart, then we will be praised. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, or this year. Or this lifetime. But we will be praised.
