“She is clothed in strength and dignity & she laughs without fear of the future.”
– Proverbs 31:25
Proverbs 31 as a whole is filled with AMAZING proclamations of what a woman can and should be. Verse 25 is simply a daily reminder of everything a woman can claim to be on a daily basis.
A few weeks ago, I went through the numerical significance of the verse Proverbs 31:25 & if you hadn’t had a chance to read it yet, you can find it here: The Bible verse every woman should know: Part 1. This week, I wanted to take a deeper look at the true meaning of the verse.
Proverbs 31:25 starts out by saying : “She is clothed with strength and dignity….”. Clothes are worn by everyone in society which means that we, as women, are literally walking around daily with a dress of strength and pumps of dignity on. We, YOU, wake up strong and dignified each and every day.
\ˈdig-nə-tē\
Noun
the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.
The word dignity has been defined as ‘the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect’. Not only are you covered in strength, you are worthy of honor and respect as well.
The verse also says: “..& she laughs without fear of the future.” Being the tagline of my blog, this part is my personal daily reminder. So many times I myself get wrapped up in worrying about what’s going to happen next in life or what my next move in life is going to be. It’s easy to look at others lives and compare them to our own, thinking that we are not where should be. But this verse tells us to simply “laugh without fear of the future.” Meaning it’s handled & already been taken care of. And we can laugh..and be fabulous!
The numbers in 31:35 as discussed earlier mean “Complete, Divided Grace.” Within this verse every woman can take away two amazing things:
- You are fabulous in every way. You were designed to be & nothing can take away from that-it is God’s Grace.
- NOTHING-ASOLUTELY NOTHING can complete you more than God can, so worrying about the future and what’s to come is silly and useless. (Easier said than done, I know). There’s nothing to worry about- so just be happy and laugh. Be beautiful & be you!

Thanks for sharing this. I “accidentally” stumbled on your fun blog. Your shoes are awesome by the way. I was actually looking through a catalog that came in the mail, found a mug with the verse, and I was like I don’t remember that verse. Then the voice in my head, the one that always makes me feel small, was like that doesn’t apply to you. So I googled the verse and your blog came up and the voice shut up. So often I feel like my strength is all used up. My youngest has disabilities so I am constantly stretched and my husband has some anger issues so its from one extreme to the other. God’s grace is enough though. I am growing even though its sometimes a forward crawl lol. Thanks for explaining the verse. To be clothed in strength sounds like a powerful thing indeed. Clothing can be protective and comforting 🙂
awh thank you so much! I’m so happy that this blog post helped you! You are 100% correct- God’s grace is enough! I will be praying for you and your family!
XOXO,
B
You have a really great blog! I found your blog from a facebook game that brought up Proverbs 31:25 and I googled it because I liked it but also didn’t quite understand the second part of it if I am honest. Your blog came up and it made perfect sense and was a reminder that I needed to always laugh cause it’s handled. I wish I could read part 1 of the blog but I am late to the party since this is from 2015. But it is clearly still resonating today. So thank you.
of course! I am glad you came across this <3
This is simply beautiful!! What a blessing for me to find this today. My favorite cup given to me by my sister/mom has this scripture on it. You explained this so sweetly and so blessed! And just when I needed to hear just this. Thank you my Dearest for your encouraging and inspiring words. I can now laugh again.
Blessings
I need this empowerment , my husband and I have power struggles at times and I need strength to stand up for me
