like<00:07:09.399><c> she</c><00:07:09.560><c> knew</c><00:07:09.740><c> much</c><00:07:10.040><c> about</c><00:07:10.540><c> the</c><00:07:10.839><c> truth</c><00:07:11.060><c> or</c><00:07:11.279><c> about</c><00:07:11.500><c> the</c><00:07:11.639><c> Bible.</c>

00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.980
And<00:07:12.500><c> I</c><00:07:12.699><c> remember</c><00:07:13.060><c> many</c><00:07:13.459><c> times</c><00:07:13.699><c> she</c><00:07:13.819><c> used</c><00:07:13.980><c> to</c><00:07:14.139><c> live</c><00:07:14.220><c> in</c><00:07:14.360><c> a</c><00:07:14.519><c> granny</c><00:07:14.720><c> flat</c>

00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.620

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:18.420
You<00:07:17.759><c> probably</c><00:07:17.980><c> shouldn't</c><00:07:18.240><c> have.</c>

00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:20.560
But<00:07:18.819><c> just</c><00:07:19.259><c> looking</c><00:07:19.439><c> around</c><00:07:19.600><c> the</c><00:07:19.720><c> corner</c><00:07:19.899><c> to</c><00:07:20.060><c> her</c><00:07:20.180><c> house</c><00:07:20.399><c> and</c>

00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:22.160
And<00:07:21.620><c> she'd</c><00:07:21.779><c> be</c><00:07:21.959><c> sitting.</c>

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.699
I<00:07:22.699><c> can</c><00:07:22.860><c> just</c><00:07:23.079><c> see</c><00:07:23.220><c> it</c><00:07:23.660><c> in</c><00:07:24.000><c> my</c><00:07:24.199><c> own</c><00:07:24.339><c> mind's</c><00:07:24.620><c> eye.</c>

00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.420
She'd<00:07:24.920><c> be</c><00:07:25.060><c> sitting</c><00:07:25.180><c> on</c><00:07:25.339><c> the</c><00:07:25.500><c> couch</c><00:07:25.680><c> with</c><00:07:25.819><c> her</c><00:07:25.879><c> little</c><00:07:26.040><c> glasses</c>

reading<00:07:26.720><c> it.</c>

00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.540
And<00:07:27.379><c> you'd</c><00:07:27.899><c> walked</c><00:07:28.100><c> into</c><00:07:28.420><c> her</c><00:07:28.660><c> house</c><00:07:28.899><c> and</c><00:07:29.019><c> she'd</c><00:07:29.240><c> be</c><00:07:29.259><c> like,</c><00:07:29.420><c> I</c>

Like,<00:07:31.120><c> what</c><00:07:31.120><c> is</c><00:07:31.199><c> it?</c>

00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:33.560
You'd<00:07:32.060><c> sit</c><00:07:32.199><c> down</c><00:07:32.360><c> on</c><00:07:32.500><c> the</c><00:07:32.600><c> couch</c><00:07:32.740><c> and</c><00:07:32.899><c> you'd</c><00:07:33.060><c> talk</c><00:07:33.259><c> about</c><00:07:33.420><c> it</c>

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:33.819
with<00:07:33.720><c> her.</c>

00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:39.060
But<00:07:34.220><c> she</c><00:07:34.459><c> would</c><00:07:34.660><c> never</c><00:07:35.620><c> be</c><00:07:36.540><c> the</c><00:07:36.740><c> person</c><00:07:37.040><c> to</c><00:07:37.240><c> go</c><00:07:37.399><c> out</c><00:07:37.560><c> and</c><00:07:37.759><c> vocalize</c><00:07:38.279><c> things</c><00:07:38.600><c> in</c><00:07:38.819><c> front</c><00:07:38.899><c> of</c>

00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:42.540
the<00:07:42.120><c> hairdresser,</c>

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.439
she'd<00:07:42.959><c> leave</c><00:07:43.079><c> one</c><00:07:43.259><c> of</c><00:07:43.339><c> those</c><00:07:43.480><c> little</c><00:07:43.720><c> things</c><00:07:43.920><c> for</c><00:07:44.079><c> the</c><00:07:44.199><c> Bible</c>

00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:48.519
But<00:07:47.540><c> she'd</c><00:07:47.819><c> do</c><00:07:47.959><c> that.</c>

00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.040
And<00:07:48.920><c> I</c><00:07:49.060><c> think</c><00:07:49.579><c> growing</c><00:07:50.040><c> up,</c><00:07:50.420><c> and</c><00:07:50.579><c> now</c><00:07:50.819><c> I</c><00:07:50.959><c> reflect</c><00:07:51.259><c> on</c><00:07:51.379><c> that</c><00:07:51.560><c> more</c><00:07:51.800><c> and</c><00:07:51.879><c> more,</c>

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:55.680

00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.980
And<00:07:56.079><c> the</c><00:07:56.300><c> power</c><00:07:56.680><c> of</c><00:07:57.600><c> their</c><00:07:57.860><c> spiritual</c><00:07:58.319><c> dedication.</c>

00:07:59.259 --> 00:08:01.319

and<00:08:05.100><c> maybe</c><00:08:05.319><c> it's</c><00:08:05.560><c> worthwhile</c><00:08:05.899><c> just</c><00:08:06.220><c> appreciating</c><00:08:06.699><c> that</c><00:08:06.920><c> this</c><00:08:07.180><c> week,</c>

00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:11.699

00:08:17.660 --> 00:08:19.120

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.220
I<00:09:09.980><c> mean,</c><00:09:10.200><c> nothing</c><00:09:10.460><c> in</c><00:09:10.779><c> Proverbs</c><00:09:11.039><c> 31</c><00:09:11.539><c> is</c><00:09:12.080><c> short</c><00:09:12.340><c> of</c><00:09:12.500><c> the</c><00:09:12.740><c> character</c><00:09:13.039><c> of</c>

00:09:23.299 --> 00:09:25.980
It's<00:09:23.419><c> the</c><00:09:23.539><c> same</c><00:09:23.620><c> with</c><00:09:24.200><c> male</c><00:09:24.480><c> and</c><00:09:24.820><c> it's</c><00:09:25.139><c> the</c><00:09:25.259><c> same</c><00:09:25.320><c> with</c><00:09:25.639><c> all</c><00:09:25.840><c> of</c>

00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.539
that<00:09:28.000><c> we</c><00:09:28.340><c> take</c><00:09:28.580><c> the</c><00:09:28.840><c> character</c><00:09:29.059><c> of</c><00:09:29.299><c> Christ</c><00:09:29.580><c> and</c><00:09:29.759><c> apply</c><00:09:30.080><c> it.</c>

00:09:30.580 --> 00:09:32.639
And<00:09:30.820><c> we</c><00:09:30.960><c> can</c><00:09:31.059><c> be</c><00:09:31.220><c> encouraged</c><00:09:31.639><c> when</c><00:09:31.799><c> we</c><00:09:31.960><c> see</c><00:09:32.080><c> other</c><00:09:32.259><c> people</c><00:09:32.480><c> do</c>

00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.059
the<00:09:32.840><c> same.</c>

00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:37.960
And<00:09:33.399><c> that's</c><00:09:33.659><c> what</c><00:09:33.759><c> we</c><00:09:33.919><c> want</c><00:09:34.100><c> to</c><00:09:34.720><c> do</c><00:09:36.220><c> in</c><00:09:36.340><c> our</c><00:09:36.600><c> time</c><00:09:36.980><c> together.</c>

00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.720
Now,<00:09:38.720><c> just</c><00:09:38.899><c> out</c><00:09:39.059><c> of</c><00:09:39.179><c> interest,</c><00:09:40.879><c> it</c><00:09:40.879><c> was</c><00:09:41.179><c> a</c><00:09:41.419><c> few</c><00:09:41.539><c> years</c><00:09:41.840><c> ago</c><00:09:42.179><c> that</c><00:09:42.480><c> we</c>

00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:44.620
looked<00:09:42.940><c> at</c><00:09:43.299><c> Proverbs</c><00:09:43.799><c> with</c><00:09:44.340><c> Enfield.</c>

00:09:44.700 --> 00:09:46.580
I'm<00:09:44.779><c> not</c><00:09:44.980><c> sure</c><00:09:45.220><c> how</c><00:09:45.480><c> much</c><00:09:45.659><c> you</c><00:09:45.840><c> remember</c><00:09:46.139><c> of</c><00:09:46.320><c> that.</c>

00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.779
But<00:09:46.960><c> what</c><00:09:47.120><c> we're</c><00:09:47.259><c> going</c><00:09:47.360><c> to</c><00:09:47.500><c> do</c><00:09:47.940><c> is</c><00:09:48.860><c> sort</c><00:09:49.059><c> of</c><00:09:49.320><c> pick</c><00:09:49.519><c> up</c><00:09:49.639><c> where</c>

00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:51.059
we<00:09:49.940><c> left</c><00:09:50.139><c> off,</c><00:09:50.480><c> if</c><00:09:50.539><c> that's</c><00:09:50.820><c> okay.</c>

00:09:51.259 --> 00:09:53.879
So<00:09:51.399><c> you</c><00:09:51.440><c> might</c><00:09:51.580><c> have</c><00:09:51.720><c> to</c><00:09:51.820><c> get</c><00:09:51.919><c> your</c><00:09:52.059><c> notes</c><00:09:52.179><c> out</c><00:09:52.440><c> from</c><00:09:52.840><c> a</c><00:09:52.980><c> few</c><00:09:52.980><c> years</c><00:09:53.179><c> ago,</c><00:09:53.759><c> if</c>

00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:54.940
you<00:09:53.980><c> took</c><00:09:54.120><c> any.</c>

00:09:55.340 --> 00:09:56.620
Some<00:09:55.500><c> of</c><00:09:55.620><c> the</c><00:09:55.700><c> things</c><00:09:55.779><c> that</c><00:09:55.960><c> we're</c><00:09:56.080><c> just</c><00:09:56.220><c> going</c><00:09:56.299><c> to</c><00:09:56.440><c> mention</c>

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:57.600
about<00:09:56.899><c> Proverbs</c><00:09:57.120><c> 31,</c>

00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.539
we<00:09:58.320><c> brought</c><00:09:58.500><c> up</c><00:09:58.700><c> in</c><00:09:58.820><c> our</c><00:09:59.080><c> studies,</c><00:09:59.340><c> but</c><00:09:59.600><c> I</c><00:09:59.899><c> think</c><00:10:00.159><c> they're</c><00:10:00.720><c> so</c><00:10:01.019><c> exciting</c>

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:05.240
that<00:10:01.860><c> if</c><00:10:02.100><c> you</c><00:10:02.840><c> did</c><00:10:03.120><c> forget</c><00:10:03.379><c> them,</c><00:10:04.159><c> they</c><00:10:04.539><c> should</c><00:10:04.740><c> be</c><00:10:04.980><c> something</c>

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:06.460
that<00:10:05.399><c> will</c><00:10:05.580><c> stand</c><00:10:05.759><c> out</c><00:10:05.899><c> for</c><00:10:06.039><c> you</c><00:10:06.279><c> too.</c>

00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:10.320
So<00:10:06.879><c> let's</c><00:10:07.059><c> just</c><00:10:07.320><c> do</c><00:10:07.460><c> a</c><00:10:07.600><c> little</c><00:10:08.200><c> recap</c><00:10:08.879><c> from</c><00:10:09.159><c> 2008.</c>

00:10:11.100 --> 00:10:15.399
What<00:10:11.500><c> is</c><00:10:11.820><c> the</c><00:10:12.059><c> basic</c><00:10:13.000><c> structure</c><00:10:14.559><c> of</c><00:10:14.700><c> the</c><00:10:14.820><c> book</c><00:10:14.919><c> of</c><00:10:15.200><c> Proverbs?</c>

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:17.259

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:19.240
How<00:10:17.840><c> many</c><00:10:17.980><c> remember</c><00:10:18.419><c> that?</c>

00:10:20.539 --> 00:10:24.980
I'm<00:10:20.779><c> sorry,</c><00:10:21.500><c> we</c><00:10:21.700><c> are</c><00:10:21.879><c> doing</c><00:10:22.139><c> the</c><00:10:22.740><c> questions</c><00:10:23.200><c> because</c><00:10:23.480><c> it's</c><00:10:23.799><c> terrible</c><00:10:24.120><c> staying</c><00:10:24.340><c> awake</c><00:10:24.580><c> after</c><00:10:24.960><c> a</c>

00:10:29.179 --> 00:10:31.740
One<00:10:30.159><c> may</c><00:10:30.419><c> be</c><00:10:30.620><c> free.</c>

00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:38.379

00:10:40.179 --> 00:10:41.240
David.

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:43.559
And<00:10:42.179><c> it</c><00:10:42.279><c> says</c><00:10:42.539><c> that</c><00:10:42.759><c> these</c><00:10:42.879><c> are</c><00:10:42.980><c> the</c><00:10:42.980><c> words</c><00:10:43.139><c> of</c><00:10:43.340><c> Solomon,</c>

00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:52.580
How<00:10:49.220><c> is</c><00:10:49.460><c> that</c><00:10:49.740><c> the</c><00:10:49.960><c> person</c><00:10:50.259><c> described</c><00:10:51.139><c> in</c><00:10:51.360><c> the</c><00:10:51.600><c> first</c><00:10:51.840><c> nine</c><00:10:52.159><c> chapters?</c>

What<00:10:53.059><c> sort</c><00:10:53.259><c> of</c><00:10:53.620><c> character</c><00:10:53.960><c> are</c><00:10:54.240><c> they?</c>

00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:57.100
What<00:10:56.399><c> is</c><00:10:56.559><c> the</c><00:10:56.740><c> person?</c>

00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:01.200
It's<00:10:57.919><c> talking</c><00:10:58.200><c> my</c><00:10:58.559><c> son,</c><00:10:59.059><c> my</c><00:10:59.259><c> son,</c><00:10:59.740><c> my</c><00:11:00.000><c> son,</c><00:11:00.299><c> my</c><00:11:00.580><c> son,</c><00:11:00.879><c> all</c><00:11:01.159><c> the</c>

So<00:11:03.379><c> who</c><00:11:03.620><c> essentially</c><00:11:04.059><c> is</c><00:11:04.279><c> speaking?</c>

00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:45.639
The<00:11:40.980><c> first</c><00:11:41.159><c> nine</c><00:11:41.419><c> chapters</c><00:11:41.879><c> are</c><00:11:42.779><c> a</c><00:11:42.980><c> father</c><00:11:43.440><c> who's</c><00:11:44.059><c> sitting</c><00:11:44.279><c> down</c><00:11:44.600><c> and</c><00:11:44.759><c> having</c><00:11:45.320><c> a</c>

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:06.799
They<00:12:04.899><c> will</c><00:12:05.059><c> sit</c><00:12:05.259><c> down</c><00:12:05.440><c> with</c><00:12:05.600><c> their</c><00:12:05.799><c> son</c><00:12:05.980><c> and</c><00:12:06.179><c> go</c><00:12:06.360><c> through</c><00:12:06.559><c> all</c>

00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.899

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.399
That's<00:12:09.320><c> a</c><00:12:09.419><c> powerful</c><00:12:09.740><c> thing</c><00:12:09.960><c> to</c><00:12:10.159><c> do.</c>

00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:14.059
But<00:12:11.100><c> when</c><00:12:11.519><c> we</c><00:12:11.700><c> come</c><00:12:11.820><c> to</c><00:12:12.120><c> the</c><00:12:12.299><c> end</c><00:12:12.539><c> of</c><00:12:12.679><c> the</c><00:12:12.759><c> book</c><00:12:12.879><c> of</c><00:12:13.159><c> Proverbs,</c>

00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.519
who's<00:12:14.740><c> speaking</c><00:12:15.059><c> in</c><00:12:15.259><c> chapter</c><00:12:15.519><c> 31?</c>

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.940
Pardon?

00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.220
A<00:12:23.460><c> father?</c>

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:25.139
It's<00:12:24.899><c> a</c><00:12:25.000><c> mother.</c>

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:28.740
Now<00:12:26.700><c> look,</c><00:12:27.139><c> let's</c><00:12:27.379><c> just</c><00:12:27.559><c> pay</c><00:12:27.679><c> attention</c><00:12:28.039><c> closely</c><00:12:28.399><c> to</c><00:12:28.580><c> these</c>

Wisdom<00:20:19.119><c> is</c><00:20:19.440><c> not</c><00:20:19.720><c> just</c><00:20:20.160><c> intellectual</c><00:20:20.779><c> head</c><00:20:21.119><c> knowledge.</c>

00:20:41.859 --> 00:20:44.160
So<00:20:42.000><c> that's</c><00:20:42.220><c> an</c><00:20:42.420><c> important</c><00:20:42.640><c> thing</c><00:20:42.839><c> to</c><00:20:43.000><c> keep</c><00:20:43.119><c> in</c><00:20:43.339><c> mind,</c><00:20:43.539><c> that</c><00:20:43.700><c> she</c><00:20:43.920><c> is</c>

it<00:36:03.699><c> just</c><00:36:03.980><c> says</c><00:36:04.260><c> that</c><00:36:05.320><c> when</c><00:36:05.679><c> we</c><00:36:05.880><c> look</c><00:36:06.059><c> at</c><00:36:06.539><c> people</c><00:36:06.860><c> of</c><00:36:07.139><c> faith</c><00:36:07.380><c> in</c><00:36:07.619><c> Scripture,</c>

00:36:09.619 --> 00:36:12.559
it<00:36:10.099><c> could</c><00:36:10.300><c> be</c><00:36:10.500><c> just</c><00:36:10.719><c> that</c><00:36:10.960><c> person</c><00:36:11.280><c> who's</c><00:36:11.760><c> fervent</c><00:36:12.079><c> in</c><00:36:12.360><c> prayer</c>

00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:14.659

00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:15.659

00:36:15.940 --> 00:36:17.739

00:36:17.820 --> 00:36:22.320

00:36:27.820 --> 00:36:30.420
They<00:36:28.000><c> can</c><00:36:28.199><c> still</c><00:36:28.360><c> be</c><00:36:28.519><c> someone</c><00:36:28.699><c> who</c><00:36:29.059><c> fervently</c><00:36:29.420><c> prays</c><00:36:30.079><c> to</c><00:36:30.219><c> the</c>

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:34.099
She<00:36:32.760><c> was</c><00:36:32.940><c> so</c><00:36:33.219><c> involved</c><00:36:33.480><c> in</c><00:36:33.639><c> that</c><00:36:33.820><c> prayer.</c>

How<00:36:34.719><c> mistaken</c><00:36:35.139><c> he</c><00:36:35.400><c> was.</c>

00:36:36.739 --> 00:36:40.039
And<00:36:37.179><c> that's</c><00:36:37.420><c> a</c><00:36:37.579><c> powerful</c><00:36:37.900><c> thing</c><00:36:38.219><c> this</c><00:36:38.539><c> woman</c><00:36:38.940><c> shows</c><00:36:39.380><c> to</c><00:36:39.599><c> us</c><00:36:39.780><c> in</c>

00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.300
You<00:36:44.099><c> know,</c><00:36:44.599><c> when</c><00:36:44.679><c> we</c><00:36:44.840><c> look</c><00:36:45.039><c> through</c><00:36:45.239><c> then,</c><00:36:45.539><c> brothers</c><00:36:45.599><c> and</c><00:36:45.780><c> sisters,</c><00:36:45.960><c> this</c><00:36:46.159><c> is</c>

00:36:46.300 --> 00:36:48.480
how<00:36:46.440><c> I've</c><00:36:46.739><c> sort</c><00:36:46.840><c> of</c><00:36:47.019><c> treated</c><00:36:47.159><c> Proverbs</c><00:36:47.480><c> 31.</c>

00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:53.679
When<00:36:49.420><c> you</c><00:36:50.000><c> study</c><00:36:50.500><c> any</c><00:36:50.920><c> woman</c><00:36:51.260><c> character</c><00:36:51.679><c> of</c><00:36:51.860><c> the</c><00:36:52.019><c> Bible</c><00:36:52.260><c> in</c><00:36:52.699><c> faith,</c><00:36:53.480><c> or</c>

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:55.579
for<00:36:54.300><c> that</c><00:36:54.519><c> matter,</c><00:36:54.739><c> really,</c><00:36:54.900><c> I</c><00:36:54.960><c> guess</c><00:36:55.139><c> you</c><00:36:55.239><c> could</c><00:36:55.360><c> say,</c>

00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:58.059
you<00:36:55.960><c> study</c><00:36:56.179><c> any</c><00:36:56.559><c> character</c><00:36:56.820><c> of</c><00:36:56.960><c> woman,</c><00:36:57.239><c> it</c><00:36:57.400><c> comes</c><00:36:57.639><c> back</c><00:36:57.880><c> to</c>

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:58.780
Proverbs<00:36:58.280><c> 31.</c>

00:36:59.260 --> 00:37:02.480
And<00:36:59.619><c> it</c><00:36:59.739><c> also</c><00:36:59.840><c> comes</c><00:37:00.079><c> back</c><00:37:00.380><c> as</c><00:37:00.599><c> you</c><00:37:00.800><c> can</c><00:37:01.039><c> see</c><00:37:01.199><c> elements</c><00:37:01.559><c> of</c><00:37:01.800><c> Proverbs</c><00:37:02.000><c> 31</c>

00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:03.539
showing<00:37:02.800><c> up</c><00:37:02.980><c> in</c><00:37:03.059><c> their</c><00:37:03.239><c> life.</c>

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:07.659
Or<00:37:04.179><c> let's</c><00:37:04.739><c> say</c><00:37:04.900><c> you</c><00:37:05.000><c> were</c><00:37:05.079><c> to</c><00:37:05.199><c> study</c><00:37:05.400><c> Jezebel,</c><00:37:06.340><c> you</c><00:37:07.019><c> could</c><00:37:07.199><c> come</c><00:37:07.360><c> back</c><00:37:07.500><c> to</c>

00:37:07.659 --> 00:37:11.019
Proverbs<00:37:07.840><c> 31</c><00:37:08.139><c> and</c><00:37:08.320><c> say,</c><00:37:08.860><c> no,</c><00:37:09.280><c> no,</c><00:37:10.079><c> no,</c><00:37:10.500><c> right?</c>

00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:14.079
So<00:37:11.579><c> there's</c><00:37:11.800><c> this</c><00:37:11.980><c> contrast</c><00:37:12.460><c> that</c><00:37:12.619><c> she</c><00:37:12.800><c> does</c><00:37:13.000><c> all</c><00:37:13.219><c> the</c><00:37:13.420><c> opposite</c><00:37:13.760><c> things</c>

00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:15.039
of<00:37:14.320><c> Proverbs</c><00:37:14.500><c> 31.</c>

00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:19.099
But<00:37:15.679><c> listen,</c><00:37:17.119><c> I've</c><00:37:17.460><c> talked</c><00:37:17.599><c> to</c><00:37:17.820><c> sisters</c><00:37:18.099><c> and</c><00:37:18.300><c> I</c><00:37:18.500><c> can</c><00:37:18.760><c> see</c><00:37:18.900><c> how</c>

00:37:19.099 --> 00:37:20.820
this<00:37:19.320><c> sum</c><00:37:19.699><c> makes</c><00:37:20.579><c> sense.</c>

00:37:20.900 --> 00:37:23.199
And<00:37:21.059><c> I</c><00:37:21.159><c> like</c><00:37:21.360><c> to</c><00:37:21.519><c> talk</c><00:37:21.519><c> to</c><00:37:21.699><c> sisters</c><00:37:21.960><c> about</c><00:37:22.199><c> Proverbs</c><00:37:22.480><c> 31</c><00:37:22.739><c> because</c><00:37:22.940><c> it's</c>

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:24.340
interesting<00:37:23.460><c> to</c><00:37:23.639><c> see</c><00:37:23.719><c> their</c><00:37:23.860><c> perspective.</c>

00:37:24.780 --> 00:37:28.519
But<00:37:24.940><c> I've</c><00:37:25.179><c> talked</c><00:37:25.320><c> to</c><00:37:25.480><c> sisters,</c><00:37:25.800><c> and</c><00:37:26.059><c> maybe</c><00:37:26.280><c> this</c><00:37:26.480><c> is</c><00:37:26.679><c> your</c><00:37:27.480><c> perspective</c><00:37:27.940><c> too</c><00:37:28.159><c> at</c><00:37:28.360><c> times.</c>

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:34.820
Are<00:37:28.519><c> you</c><00:37:28.659><c> going</c><00:37:28.840><c> to</c><00:37:28.940><c> read</c><00:37:29.099><c> this</c><00:37:29.360><c> chapter</c><00:37:29.880><c> and</c><00:37:30.500><c> feel</c><00:37:31.139><c> like</c><00:37:32.619><c> how,</c><00:37:33.900><c> what?</c>

00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:37.539
It's<00:37:35.360><c> almost</c><00:37:35.679><c> discouraging</c><00:37:36.519><c> when</c><00:37:36.800><c> you</c><00:37:37.039><c> read</c><00:37:37.199><c> it.</c>

00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:39.360
And<00:37:37.619><c> it's</c><00:37:37.920><c> not</c><00:37:38.119><c> meant</c><00:37:38.300><c> to</c><00:37:38.559><c> be.</c>

00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:43.719
Proverbs<00:37:40.260><c> 31</c><00:37:40.559><c> is</c><00:37:40.880><c> not</c><00:37:41.079><c> meant</c><00:37:41.260><c> to</c><00:37:41.619><c> crush</c><00:37:42.000><c> the</c><00:37:42.420><c> spirit</c><00:37:42.579><c> of</c><00:37:42.980><c> discipleship</c><00:37:43.400><c> in</c><00:37:43.559><c> us</c>

00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:46.960
because<00:37:43.940><c> we</c><00:37:44.179><c> think</c><00:37:44.599><c> I'm</c><00:37:45.460><c> so</c><00:37:45.719><c> far</c><00:37:45.860><c> from</c><00:37:46.099><c> that.</c>

00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:49.460
And<00:37:47.940><c> I</c><00:37:48.119><c> think</c><00:37:48.260><c> there's</c><00:37:48.539><c> something</c><00:37:48.780><c> that</c><00:37:48.960><c> we</c><00:37:49.059><c> need</c><00:37:49.179><c> to</c><00:37:49.340><c> think</c>

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:49.900
about<00:37:49.659><c> then.</c>

00:37:50.059 --> 00:37:51.760
What<00:37:50.260><c> is</c><00:37:50.559><c> Proverbs</c><00:37:50.840><c> 31</c><00:37:51.199><c> really</c><00:37:51.559><c> doing?</c>

00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:55.300
Is<00:37:52.380><c> it</c><00:37:52.599><c> actually</c><00:37:52.980><c> saying</c><00:37:53.340><c> that</c><00:37:53.940><c> you</c><00:37:54.159><c> need</c><00:37:54.300><c> to</c><00:37:54.480><c> be</c><00:37:54.719><c> involved</c><00:37:55.059><c> in</c>

00:37:55.300 --> 00:37:56.300
all<00:37:55.500><c> of</c><00:37:55.639><c> these</c><00:37:55.800><c> actions?</c>

00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:58.719
And<00:37:56.739><c> the</c><00:37:56.840><c> answer</c><00:37:57.179><c> is</c><00:37:57.659><c> absolutely</c><00:37:58.280><c> not.</c>

00:37:59.019 --> 00:38:02.500
There's<00:37:59.119><c> something</c><00:37:59.460><c> far</c><00:37:59.800><c> deeper</c><00:38:00.059><c> in</c><00:38:00.159><c> this</c><00:38:00.380><c> chapter</c><00:38:00.659><c> than</c><00:38:00.860><c> actions,</c><00:38:01.440><c> brothers</c><00:38:01.440><c> and</c><00:38:01.599><c> sisters.</c>

00:38:02.579 --> 00:38:03.480

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.639
If<00:38:25.860><c> you</c><00:38:26.000><c> look</c><00:38:26.139><c> at</c><00:38:26.280><c> Ruth,</c><00:38:26.860><c> there's</c><00:38:26.980><c> things</c><00:38:27.199><c> in</c><00:38:27.360><c> here</c><00:38:27.480><c> that</c>

00:38:48.099 --> 00:38:50.940
And<00:38:48.340><c> so</c><00:38:48.460><c> they</c><00:38:48.639><c> may</c><00:38:48.920><c> not</c><00:38:49.119><c> ever</c><00:38:49.440><c> have</c><00:38:49.679><c> the</c><00:38:49.920><c> privilege</c><00:38:50.280><c> of</c><00:38:50.679><c> having</c>

00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:55.840
But<00:38:53.719><c> that</c><00:38:53.900><c> does</c><00:38:54.139><c> not</c><00:38:54.300><c> exclude</c><00:38:54.780><c> them</c><00:38:55.000><c> from</c><00:38:55.159><c> the</c><00:38:55.300><c> essence</c><00:38:55.599><c> of</c>

Proverbs<00:38:56.079><c> 31.</c>

00:38:57.219 --> 00:39:01.360
There's<00:38:57.440><c> sisters,</c><00:38:57.840><c> brothers</c><00:38:57.980><c> and</c><00:38:58.179><c> sisters,</c><00:38:58.920><c> in</c><00:39:00.159><c> scripture.</c>

00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:04.139
And<00:39:01.679><c> we</c><00:39:01.800><c> know</c><00:39:02.039><c> about</c><00:39:02.239><c> outside</c><00:39:02.539><c> of</c><00:39:02.739><c> scripture,</c><00:39:03.519><c> too.</c>

00:39:04.820 --> 00:39:08.460
But<00:39:04.920><c> there</c><00:39:05.099><c> is</c><00:39:05.320><c> sisters</c><00:39:06.000><c> who</c><00:39:06.679><c> may</c><00:39:06.880><c> have</c><00:39:07.039><c> never</c><00:39:07.280><c> had</c><00:39:07.480><c> a</c><00:39:07.619><c> husband.</c>

00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:14.199
And<00:39:09.599><c> so</c><00:39:09.780><c> these</c><00:39:10.219><c> references</c><00:39:10.679><c> to</c><00:39:10.880><c> husband</c><00:39:11.440><c> may</c><00:39:11.860><c> be</c><00:39:12.059><c> kind</c><00:39:12.260><c> of</c><00:39:13.599><c> at</c>

00:39:17.519 --> 00:39:20.400
So<00:39:17.780><c> what</c><00:39:17.900><c> do</c><00:39:17.980><c> we</c><00:39:18.099><c> make</c><00:39:18.260><c> of</c><00:39:18.480><c> Proverbs</c><00:39:18.679><c> 31,</c><00:39:19.119><c> and</c><00:39:19.280><c> how</c><00:39:19.420><c> can</c><00:39:19.579><c> we</c><00:39:19.739><c> take</c><00:39:19.900><c> from</c><00:39:20.059><c> it?</c>

00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.159
Of<00:39:21.099><c> course,</c><00:39:21.619><c> there's</c><00:39:21.840><c> the</c><00:39:22.019><c> spiritual</c><00:39:22.380><c> aspect</c><00:39:22.760><c> there</c><00:39:22.980><c> that</c><00:39:23.039><c> we</c>

00:39:25.139 --> 00:39:27.579
But<00:39:25.280><c> I</c><00:39:25.400><c> want</c><00:39:25.519><c> to</c><00:39:25.599><c> look</c><00:39:25.719><c> at</c><00:39:25.760><c> it</c><00:39:26.019><c> practically,</c><00:39:26.699><c> too,</c><00:39:26.940><c> in</c><00:39:27.119><c> the</c><00:39:27.260><c> sense</c><00:39:27.400><c> of</c>

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:30.900
just<00:39:27.719><c> its</c><00:39:27.940><c> literal</c><00:39:28.699><c> interpretation</c><00:39:29.480><c> for</c><00:39:29.739><c> sisters</c><00:39:30.179><c> as</c><00:39:30.699><c> well,</c>

as<00:39:31.420><c> individuals.</c>

00:39:32.900 --> 00:39:37.079
It's<00:39:33.320><c> true,</c><00:39:33.639><c> too,</c><00:39:33.739><c> when</c><00:39:33.900><c> you</c><00:39:34.019><c> look</c><00:39:34.159><c> at</c><00:39:34.340><c> scripture,</c><00:39:35.699><c> there</c><00:39:35.860><c> are</c>

00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:45.400
And<00:39:42.000><c> it's</c><00:39:42.199><c> definitely</c><00:39:42.480><c> not</c><00:39:43.239><c> true</c><00:39:43.840><c> that</c><00:39:44.300><c> their</c><00:39:44.760><c> husband</c><00:39:45.139><c> would</c>

01:04:24.539 --> 01:04:26.619
And<01:04:24.619><c> the</c><01:04:24.760><c> women</c><01:04:24.940><c> at</c><01:04:25.179><c> that</c><01:04:25.440><c> time,</c><01:04:25.739><c> there</c><01:04:25.780><c> was</c><01:04:25.960><c> a</c><01:04:26.059><c> group</c><01:04:26.199><c> of</c><01:04:26.400><c> them</c>

01:04:26.619 --> 01:04:30.500

01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:36.360
And<01:04:34.320><c> they</c><01:04:34.480><c> had</c><01:04:34.739><c> the</c><01:04:34.960><c> ability</c><01:04:35.280><c> to</c><01:04:35.480><c> do</c><01:04:35.579><c> that</c><01:04:35.739><c> and</c><01:04:35.880><c> they</c><01:04:36.159><c> jumped</c>

01:04:36.360 --> 01:04:40.619

the<01:04:40.800><c> Ecclesia.</c>

01:04:42.539 --> 01:04:44.860
And<01:04:42.719><c> there</c><01:04:42.820><c> was</c><01:04:42.960><c> an</c><01:04:43.119><c> example</c><01:04:43.460><c> of</c><01:04:43.559><c> that</c><01:04:43.780><c> happening</c><01:04:44.119><c> in</c><01:04:44.619><c> Exodus.</c>

01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:46.739
Did<01:04:45.340><c> every</c><01:04:45.739><c> woman</c><01:04:46.039><c> do</c><01:04:46.320><c> that?</c>

01:04:46.739 --> 01:04:50.000
Probably<01:04:47.519><c> not,</c><01:04:48.059><c> because</c><01:04:48.360><c> not</c><01:04:48.679><c> necessarily</c><01:04:49.119><c> every</c><01:04:49.559><c> woman</c><01:04:49.719><c> was</c>

01:04:51.739 --> 01:04:56.099
It<01:04:51.739><c> was</c><01:04:52.599><c> maybe</c><01:04:53.179><c> some</c><01:04:53.519><c> women</c><01:04:53.780><c> providing</c><01:04:54.219><c> other</c><01:04:54.619><c> things</c><01:04:55.280><c> for</c>

the<01:04:56.340><c> tabernacle,</c><01:04:56.840><c> absolutely.</c>

01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:02.139
I<01:04:58.360><c> mean</c><01:04:58.480><c> there</c><01:04:58.599><c> was</c><01:04:58.940><c> women</c><01:04:59.219><c> doing</c><01:04:59.440><c> all</c><01:04:59.679><c> sorts</c><01:04:59.900><c> of</c><01:05:00.079><c> things,</c><01:05:00.280><c> offering</c><01:05:00.679><c> what</c><01:05:00.860><c> they</c><01:05:01.119><c> could</c><01:05:01.300><c> bring</c><01:05:01.659><c> to</c>

the<01:05:02.360><c> Ecclesia</c><01:05:02.860><c> that</c><01:05:03.219><c> was</c><01:05:03.380><c> being</c><01:05:03.639><c> set</c><01:05:03.820><c> up</c><01:05:03.940><c> at</c><01:05:04.119><c> that</c><01:05:04.300><c> time.</c>

01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:07.420
And<01:05:05.039><c> that's</c><01:05:05.280><c> the</c><01:05:05.500><c> spirit</c><01:05:05.639><c> of</c><01:05:05.900><c> Proverbs</c><01:05:06.139><c> 31,</c><01:05:06.840><c> to</c><01:05:07.079><c> bring</c><01:05:07.260><c> what</c>

01:05:07.420 --> 01:05:10.400
we<01:05:07.800><c> can</c><01:05:08.219><c> with</c><01:05:09.260><c> this</c><01:05:09.619><c> spirit</c><01:05:09.820><c> and</c><01:05:10.059><c> attitude.</c>

01:05:10.400 --> 01:05:12.980
Now<01:05:10.860><c> it's</c><01:05:11.219><c> kind</c><01:05:11.400><c> of</c><01:05:11.980><c> interesting,</c><01:05:12.780><c> isn't</c><01:05:12.880><c> it?</c>

01:05:13.059 --> 01:05:20.380
Because<01:05:13.519><c> I</c><01:05:14.300><c> just</c><01:05:14.539><c> say</c><01:05:14.719><c> this</c><01:05:15.760><c> out</c><01:05:16.139><c> of</c><01:05:16.840><c> reality</c><01:05:17.500><c> of</c><01:05:18.460><c> how</c><01:05:18.800><c> much</c>

01:05:20.380 --> 01:05:21.320
God<01:05:20.760><c> has</c><01:05:21.039><c> put</c><01:05:21.199><c> in.</c>

01:05:21.320 --> 01:05:25.179
And<01:05:21.420><c> I'm</c><01:05:21.519><c> going</c><01:05:21.619><c> to</c><01:05:22.119><c> mention</c><01:05:22.380><c> this</c><01:05:22.579><c> with</c><01:05:22.659><c> the</c><01:05:22.800><c> sisters</c><01:05:23.139><c> just</c><01:05:24.360><c> once,</c><01:05:24.719><c> because</c><01:05:25.019><c> I</c>

01:05:25.179 --> 01:05:26.659
don't<01:05:25.380><c> want</c><01:05:25.519><c> to</c><01:05:25.639><c> mention</c><01:05:25.820><c> it</c><01:05:26.000><c> again</c><01:05:26.119><c> because</c><01:05:26.320><c> it's</c><01:05:26.380><c> not</c><01:05:26.539><c> what</c>

01:05:26.659 --> 01:05:27.800
this<01:05:26.900><c> series</c><01:05:27.119><c> is</c><01:05:27.380><c> about.</c>

01:05:28.039 --> 01:05:29.460
Okay,<01:05:28.619><c> really.</c>

01:05:29.840 --> 01:05:34.380
But<01:05:30.139><c> when</c><01:05:30.619><c> we</c><01:05:31.199><c> think</c><01:05:31.380><c> about</c><01:05:31.800><c> the</c><01:05:32.280><c> issues</c><01:05:32.579><c> with</c><01:05:32.920><c> Sisters</c><01:05:33.219><c> Speak,</c><01:05:33.900><c> which</c>

01:05:34.380 --> 01:05:36.460
we're<01:05:34.659><c> all</c><01:05:35.000><c> really</c><01:05:35.280><c> aware</c><01:05:35.519><c> of,</c><01:05:35.619><c> we've</c><01:05:35.800><c> been</c><01:05:35.900><c> aware</c><01:05:36.119><c> of</c><01:05:36.280><c> for</c><01:05:36.420><c> a</c>

01:05:36.460 --> 01:05:36.900
long<01:05:36.699><c> time.</c>

01:05:36.900 --> 01:05:39.440
And<01:05:37.039><c> it's</c><01:05:37.139><c> sort</c><01:05:37.340><c> of</c><01:05:38.019><c> on</c><01:05:38.440><c> the</c><01:05:38.579><c> hearts</c><01:05:38.739><c> and</c><01:05:38.860><c> minds</c><01:05:39.019><c> of</c><01:05:39.139><c> a</c><01:05:39.139><c> lot</c><01:05:39.260><c> of</c>

01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:45.480
When<01:05:41.159><c> we</c><01:05:41.380><c> think</c><01:05:41.559><c> about</c><01:05:41.820><c> that,</c><01:05:42.880><c> it</c><01:05:43.000><c> is</c><01:05:43.340><c> true</c><01:05:43.820><c> that</c><01:05:44.440><c> God</c><01:05:44.679><c> has</c><01:05:45.000><c> given</c><01:05:45.159><c> us</c>

01:05:48.900 --> 01:05:52.500
And<01:05:49.119><c> God</c><01:05:49.440><c> is</c><01:05:49.679><c> looking</c><01:05:49.980><c> for</c><01:05:50.239><c> us</c><01:05:50.500><c> to,</c><01:05:50.800><c> in</c><01:05:50.920><c> the</c><01:05:51.159><c> roles</c><01:05:51.400><c> and</c><01:05:51.699><c> responsibilities</c><01:05:52.260><c> that</c>

01:06:00.099 --> 01:06:02.340
And<01:06:00.280><c> if</c><01:06:00.400><c> God's</c><01:06:00.739><c> given</c><01:06:00.920><c> it</c><01:06:01.119><c> to</c><01:06:01.219><c> the</c><01:06:01.400><c> brethren</c><01:06:01.639><c> to</c><01:06:01.840><c> do</c><01:06:01.980><c> what</c><01:06:02.139><c> they</c>

what<01:06:30.059><c> our</c><01:06:30.340><c> roles</c><01:06:30.539><c> are</c><01:06:30.860><c> and</c><01:06:30.960><c> what</c><01:06:31.099><c> we</c><01:06:31.360><c> can</c><01:06:31.539><c> contribute</c><01:06:31.960><c> and</c><01:06:32.480><c> give</c><01:06:32.760><c> wholeheartedly</c><01:06:33.380><c> to</c><01:06:33.599><c> that.</c>

01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:36.340

something<01:06:36.699><c> else.</c>

01:06:39.800 --> 01:06:43.079

scriptural<01:06:45.539><c> way.</c>

01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:49.179
And<01:06:46.639><c> that's</c><01:06:46.820><c> what</c><01:06:46.960><c> we</c><01:06:47.280><c> see</c><01:06:47.679><c> in</c><01:06:47.860><c> the</c><01:06:48.059><c> sisters,</c><01:06:48.739><c> and</c><01:06:48.880><c> they'll</c>

01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:53.239
You<01:06:51.139><c> think</c><01:06:51.280><c> of,</c><01:06:51.400><c> for</c><01:06:51.559><c> example,</c><01:06:52.000><c> Deborah</c><01:06:52.119><c> in</c><01:06:52.400><c> jail.</c>

01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:56.559
I<01:06:53.320><c> mean,</c><01:06:53.800><c> Deborah</c><01:06:54.079><c> is</c><01:06:54.219><c> often</c><01:06:54.599><c> cited</c><01:06:55.059><c> as</c><01:06:55.380><c> some</c><01:06:55.599><c> example</c><01:06:56.179><c> that</c>

01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:58.940
she<01:06:57.119><c> absolutely</c><01:06:57.760><c> isn't</c><01:06:58.280><c> in</c><01:06:58.559><c> scripture.</c>

01:06:58.940 --> 01:07:03.880
And<01:06:59.400><c> we'll</c><01:06:59.559><c> look</c><01:06:59.739><c> at</c><01:06:59.880><c> that,</c><01:07:00.079><c> but</c><01:07:00.199><c> she</c><01:07:00.360><c> does</c><01:07:00.800><c> what</c><01:07:01.119><c> she</c><01:07:01.360><c> can</c><01:07:01.780><c> with</c><01:07:02.400><c> her</c><01:07:03.539><c> encouragement.</c>

01:07:04.000 --> 01:07:06.139
And<01:07:04.139><c> I</c><01:07:04.239><c> think</c><01:07:04.480><c> maybe</c><01:07:04.719><c> this</c><01:07:04.900><c> is</c><01:07:05.280><c> an</c><01:07:05.420><c> encouragement</c><01:07:05.719><c> to</c><01:07:05.960><c> sisters.</c>

01:07:06.179 --> 01:07:08.559
And<01:07:06.300><c> I</c><01:07:06.380><c> can</c><01:07:06.500><c> only</c><01:07:06.679><c> say</c><01:07:06.820><c> this</c><01:07:06.980><c> because</c><01:07:07.280><c> I've</c><01:07:07.639><c> benefited</c><01:07:07.940><c> from</c>

01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:10.519
lots<01:07:09.000><c> of</c><01:07:09.179><c> sisters</c><01:07:09.380><c> in</c><01:07:09.519><c> my</c><01:07:09.719><c> life.</c>

01:07:10.920 --> 01:07:17.019
You<01:07:11.099><c> may</c><01:07:11.340><c> not</c><01:07:11.579><c> be</c><01:07:12.539><c> the</c><01:07:12.960><c> sister</c><01:07:13.420><c> who</c><01:07:14.159><c> feels</c><01:07:14.519><c> they</c><01:07:14.739><c> can</c><01:07:15.000><c> make</c><01:07:16.139><c> casseroles</c><01:07:16.780><c> and</c>

01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:22.440
Now,<01:07:19.579><c> we</c><01:07:19.940><c> don't</c><01:07:20.119><c> minimize</c><01:07:20.440><c> that</c><01:07:20.639><c> because</c><01:07:21.079><c> I</c><01:07:21.500><c> know</c><01:07:21.699><c> I've</c><01:07:22.219><c> been</c>

01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:26.780

01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:33.659
And<01:07:31.159><c> I've</c><01:07:31.320><c> had</c><01:07:31.380><c> it</c><01:07:31.539><c> on</c><01:07:31.659><c> my</c><01:07:31.980><c> front</c><01:07:32.119><c> porch</c><01:07:32.340><c> before</c><01:07:32.639><c> and</c><01:07:32.739><c> I've</c><01:07:32.880><c> loved</c><01:07:33.099><c> it.</c>

01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:39.039

01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:08.360
Whether<01:08:03.699><c> it's</c><01:08:04.199><c> delivering</c><01:08:04.699><c> cards</c><01:08:05.059><c> to</c><01:08:05.300><c> people</c><01:08:05.659><c> or</c><01:08:06.059><c> whether</c><01:08:06.280><c> it's</c><01:08:06.579><c> teaching</c><01:08:06.920><c> the</c><01:08:07.219><c> young</c><01:08:07.519><c> or</c>

So<01:10:50.520><c> it's</c><01:10:50.560><c> not</c><01:10:50.720><c> just</c><01:10:50.899><c> women</c><01:10:51.140><c> who</c><01:10:51.319><c> have</c><01:10:51.479><c> children</c><01:10:51.859><c> and</c><01:10:52.239><c> husbands</c>

01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:53.720
