22 September 24 – Sunday 25B (COCU 57B)

ENDURING WISDOM
(Proverbs 31:10-31)
Why preach on this text
which speaks of a time and place
and culture not ours?

It’s obscure wisdom,
but seen in resilience,
strength* and compassion.

Qualities still lived
but in unassuming ways
by many women.
    Jeff Shrowder, 2024
 
* ‘Strong’ is a closer and more appropriate translation than ‘capable’.
