Proverbs 31:10-31
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The
heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no deed of
spoil.
Our lesson
text asks a profound question as it relates to true mothers and Christian women.
A virtuous woman is one who puts family first as she seeks to ensure that their
needs are met. She emulates the love of God for her family (husband and
children) as well as the community in which she lives. She seeks to do good for
others while taking no thought for her own welfare, because she leaves that to
God with the full understanding that God will supply all her needs.
Our scripture
verses outlines the qualities and character traits of a virtuous women as I
have seen these qualities on display by many of the women and especially older
women that I have encountered in my lifetime. The one character trait these
women had in common was a reverence for God and love for man.
Our scripture
verses also state that a virtuous woman is a precious commodity and should be
cherished and rewarded for her faithfulness and love for family and community. She
speaks with wisdom (v.26) even when she is offering corrections to her
children, a love one or someone in the community.
The
value of a virtuous woman is priceless and more precious than rubies and gold.
She is as beautiful as a rose.
