The Virtuous Woman

Who can find a virtuous woman?  Rubies are what her worth is. Proverbs 31:10  A diamond only sparkles on the outside but rubies have a through and through sparkle.

We live in a politically correct world and the world's rules are bound to wreck our family roots.  Can the world tell us what is correct?  The world rejects biblical truths and their rules are subject to change without notice.

They speak for women, abortions, gay rights, and equal rights.  But a Godly woman has nothing in common with the worldly woman.  Lets look at the ideal, scriptural model of a great woman.

God's description of her says:

1. She has moral purity (Proverbs 31:10)

2. She has character. (Proverbs 31:11)

3. She will do her husband good and not evil all the days of her life. The heart of her husband doth safely trust her and she is committed to her husband. (Proverbs 31:12)

4. She works with her hands and is creative in making things and they are profitable to her. (Proverbs 31:13-14)

5. She rises early and her priorities are for her family and she gives to each of her household. (Proverbs 31:15)

6. With the fruit of her labor she plants a garden in her life and she is the strength of her children and husband. (Proverbs 31:17)

7. She has great compassion and helps the poor and those less fortunate than she. (Proverbs 31:20)
8. She is a woman of dignity. (Proverbs 31:21)

9. She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness. (Proverbs 31:26)

10. She keeps her focus on her home and family and does not eat the bread of idleness, gossip or partake of ungodly things. She has great honor. (Proverbs 31:31) And her children call her blessed! (Proverbs 31:27-28)

A Godly Mother doesn't have a problem getting her children to pick up their clothes or to wash to dishes, or take the trash out.  Her husband tells her she is the best.  Now if all women could get that, they would all become virtuous! Why wouldn't she, she's getting what she needs from her husband and her children.  If she had this she wouldn't want to run to the clubs. She would be a woman of dignity.

The virtuous woman is amazing indeed.  She's God's ideal woman.  She cooks and she uses her hands for the Lord.  She makes money. Her kids get up everyday and bless her.  They are obedient.  Dad's put some things in order for her, like discipline of the children.  He has put the board of education to the seat of understanding.  Men, you could have a virtuous woman if you take your place in your home and get order God's way.

80% of all the mothers on amphetimines wouldn't need them if their husbands would tell them, I love you and you're the best.  That's the power of love.  A part from the name of Jesus, the name mother is the sweetest name there is. Grown men on a battlefield when they're dying will want their mother.

Christians are the salt of the earth.  (Mathew 5:13)  Without this the home is corrupted.  Now you can see why a good woman's price is worth more than rubies.  The world is wrong to try to redefine the values of the home.  If the bible says its wrong, then its wrong.

When you tell this to people they say you are narrow minded.  Well, I've got something for them, Jesus said narrow is the road to heaven and wide is the gate to the world.  No, I won't change what the word has said about what a woman should be and a husband and discipline of the children.  What we need is an awakening of holiness, purity and righteousness in the home again.

My Mother taught me logic.  She said, if you fall off that swing you won't get to go shopping with me.  She challenged me too.  She would say, when that lawn mower cuts off your foot don't run to me. She gave me great anticipation too.  She would say, just wait till your Daddy gets home.  I'm thankful for my Christian upbringing.  My parents were people of faith and they honored the word of God.  And what Mother and Dad had in them got into me.  Your Christian influence will affect your children.

A good mother prays for her children when they are sick, and they remember that. Even if they walk away from that Christian upbringing, trust me there will come a time when they will say, oh I need my parent's Lord. Just because your parent was a Christian doesn't mean you are.  You must be born again.

If you have a woman of valor in your home, thank her many times over and show her appreciation, and thank her for her prayers.  Covenant that your Mother has with the Lord, you will need one day.  The Lord will remember it when he deals with you and calls you out by the Holy Spirit.

Who do you think taught the young Timothy. Eunice, his mother and his grandmother. (2Tim 3:15)
Can a mother make a difference? You bet she can.  We need to rectify family values in this nation and come back to the foundational truths.  Thank God for the Christian woman.
