“Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life” (Proverbs 31:10-12)
Many of you like me have been told or someone eluded to the fact that you need to be a Proverbs 31 woman at some point in your life; be it your parents, preacher, saved family member etc. I don’t know about you but I had no idea that #1 that existed, #2 how to become or act like such a woman and #3 why it was necessary. So if that is you, no need to be ashamed or feel intimidated sista girl.
As time went on and my relationship with God grew stronger and deeper; he revealed to me the attributes of a Proverbs 31 woman and why it was necessary for every woman to stand in this space rather you are single, married, divorced, widowed etc. I did say every woman right! I felt it was so important until I wrote a book about it to share with other women. Women who like me once had no idea or those that now do have some understanding but desire to grow even the more. Let me tell you, you will never stop becoming so even if you classify yourself as a Proverbs 31 woman, growth and character building opportunities are always available.
So here is what I want to do, I want to take a few moments to share some characteristics of a Proverbs 31 Women. As you read these, pinpoint where you are so you can take advantage of those growth and character building opportunities:
· She is a women of Faith
· She Respects and loves her husband
· She is Honest
· She is a Good Steward over her Finances
· She is Nurturing/Motherly
· She believes in Health and Fitness
· She is Industrious
· She is Hospitable
· She is cognizant in using her Time wisely
· She displays Beauty
· She is a woman of Service
It is my ongoing desire to grow more and more as a Proverbs woman every single day and guess what; I desire the same for you to and for any woman who is ready to say yes.
