Before the Word: The Pleasure Seeker Who Fears the LORD | Proverbs 5:1–23

Before the Word: The Woman Who Fears the LORD | Proverbs 7:1–27; 31:10–31

In this episode, we look ahead to Proverbs 7:1–27 and 31:10–31, where Scripture contrasts the path of destruction with the life-giving beauty of a woman who fears the LORD. Far from a shallow or merely external picture of beauty, this passage presents a life marked by strength, wisdom, and self-giving service—a woman whose security in the Lord frees her to labor for the good of others. As we consider these verses, we are invited to see both the danger of folly and the lasting fruit of a life shaped by the fear of the LORD. As we look ahead to Sunday, we invite you to come to the Word ready to listen, learn, and be shaped by our heavenly Father.
