The Christian (literal interpretation of Scripture, Biblical inerrancy) perspective has been criticized as devaluing women. Biblical virtue is presented as outdated, patriarchal, and demeaning towards women. Young men and ladies, reared in Christian homes, are faced with navigating this great divide between worldly wisdom and Biblical revelation. And this verse gets right to the heart of the question: What is truly valuable? Scripture relates value to both the immediate and the future. There is immediate and real satisfaction in living according to God’s ways. Proverbs 31 paints a picture of harmony and mutual benefit. But it also moves forward to the end of life, with husband and children uniting in joyful praise of the virtuous woman. Ultimately, value is connected to a fear of the Lord. Serving God carries the most value because He is the most valuable. This will never win the argument with worldly wisdom, but it is not intended to. God doesn’t need to convince us of His wisdom; it stands alone as superior and has stood the test of time. Our great need is not to rethink value or form our own conclusions; instead, it is to trust and walk according to God’s revelation.
