Virtuous woman

A Virtuous Woman In the Eyes of God
(Proverbs 31:10-31)

 Many Christians’ definition of a “virtuous woman” would center on prayerBible study, and spirituality. But God’s Scriptural portrait of the virtuous woman is surprisinglydifferent.
The Bible speaks of the “virtuous woman”
 . Who is she? How does God in His Word describe her?
 Does she pray faithfully
 each day? Is she used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit?

 Does she consistently do daily Bible study
 and have regular devotional times?
 The answer? — None of these traits is listed in God’s most extensive Scriptural description of virtuous women.
Now please understand me, there is no doubt that the excellent


 attributes listed


 above are valuable aspects of the lives of every Christian woman (and man). However, God devotes almost an entire chapter of the Bible (Proverbs 31)

 to His description of the
 “virtuous woman”. And the favorable traits that God lists are, surprisingly to some readers, of a substantially different nature.
 Please go with me to the Bible’s grand description of the godly woman in the eyes of God
 — that is, Proverbs 31:10-31,
Who can find a virtuous woman?
 for her price is far above.
