[SWS0008] Guest Post by Suail: A Godly Woman in 2025 – The Timeless Call of Proverbs 31

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” — Proverbs 31:30

In today’s world, where trends shift rapidly and societal expectations for women evolve, it can be tempting to believe that biblical womanhood is outdated. But the truth is, the call to be a godly woman has never gone out of style. The Proverbs 31 woman is not just a figure of the past—she is a model for us today, even in 2025. Here are 4 things that we learn from the Proverbs 31 woman:

1. Her Strength and Dignity Are Still Relevant

“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” — Proverbs 31:25

A godly woman is not weak or passive—she is strong, wise, and prepared for the future. In a time when women are business owners, ministry leaders, mothers, and wives, we can still carry ourselves with dignity and faith. Whether managing a home, leading a team, or serving in the church, our strength comes from God, not from the shifting opinions of the world.

2. Her Work Ethic Still Matters

“She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” — Proverbs 31:17

The Proverbs 31 woman was productive and diligent. She worked with her hands, made wise investments, and provided for her household. Today, whether we work from home, run businesses, or serve in ministry, the principle remains: a godly woman honors God through her diligence. Hard work, wisdom, and stewardship are never outdated.

3. Her Kindness and Wisdom Are Still Needed

“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” — Proverbs 31:26

The world is desperate for women who carry wisdom and grace. Social media can be a place of comparison and gossip, but a godly woman uses her voice to uplift, encourage, and share truth. Whether online or in person, our words should reflect the love and wisdom of Christ.

4. Her Devotion to God Is Still Her Greatest Beauty

“A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” — Proverbs 31:30

The world measures beauty by outward appearance, but God values a heart that fears Him. No amount of success, influence, or physical beauty can compare to a woman who loves and serves the Lord. In 2025, the most attractive quality a woman can have is her devotion to God.

A Prayer for Today:
Lord, in a world that is always changing, help me to be a woman who stands firm in You. Give me strength, wisdom, and a heart that seeks after You above all else. May my life reflect the Proverbs 31 woman—not as a burden, but as a beautiful calling. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

No matter the year, no matter the culture, the principles of Proverbs 31 remain as powerful today as they were when first written. A godly woman in 2025 is one who loves, serves, leads, and glorifies God in all she does. That kind of woman will always be relevant.
