Fancy Belts

She makes belted linen garments
and sashes to sell to the merchants.
25
She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and she laughs without fear of the future.
The Proverbs' ideal woman once again demonstrates herself to be a wise businesswoman, which was quite countercultural in the male-dominated Jewish society of that time. Not only is she capable in all she does, but she also looks forward to the future with eager anticipation, trusting in Yahweh’s blessings.
Think about this: Scripture affirms that women are capable of anything men can do. For instance, the Book of Judges features female military leaders, like Deborah, alongside male leaders. However, Proverbs isn’t about creating a "Battle of the Sexes." The ideal woman was essential because the society was dominated by men, and even today, despite progress, our society still tends to be male-dominated.
Paul’s words in Galatians 3:28 remind us that in Christ, there is no distinction between Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female—we are all one in Him. While some Christians and churches have failed to live up to this, Christianity at its core calls for equality and non-discrimination, recognizing the value and potential of every individual, regardless of gender.
