Proverbs 31 - an overview

I have been trying to fully and completely understand exactly what it is that Proverbs 31 is saying, before I spend 40 days implementing those principles in my life. I've been starting with what some other people have said, and I have found two that are particularly helpful. I wanted to share one overview today. I found this on the website of Nancy Rowley. She is a pastor's wife, and she has written a complete study on Proverbs 31. I look forward to reading all of it, but here is her overview.

A Brief Summary Of Proverbs 31:10-30
    10 - rare, precious
    17 - energetic
    24 - enterprising
    11 - trustworthy, treasures
    18 - discerning
    25 - poised, prepared
    12 - beneficial
    19 - industrious
    26 - wise, gracious
    13 - earnest
    20 - benevolent
    27 - careful, active
    14 - foresighted
    21 - provident
    28 - praiseworthy
    15 - diligent
    22 - elegant
    29 - distinguished
    16 - prudent, progressive
    23 - influential
    30 - Godly
    31 - honored

Those are some pretty big words. But it is helpful to see them all listed out like that. Maybe it will prove helpful to you too.
