Dress for Success

(Proverbs 31:22 KJV)  She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

An excellent wife dresses well.  Admittedly, she “makes” (6213a) it herself.  It was a different age with different ways.  But what she makes is “silk” (fine linen NASB) (8336).  Today with the invention of the cotton gin and the industrial revolution we have access to many fine fabrics.  We have stores full of them in any price range. 

 Her color is “purple” (713), the color that will mark royalty in Roman times.  Purple was an expensive dye.

In short, she knew how to be a class act.  This is praised.

So?  Don’t be afraid to fill your life with quality.  Quality will often last longer than cheap and bring more satisfaction.  But understand the difference between investing in quality and throwing your money into flash and fashion.  You can do it.
