βWho can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubiesβΒ (Proverbs 31:10).
Today is Motherβs Day and todayβs Scripture is the first verse of the Bibleβs βVirtuous Womanβ passage (Prov. 31:10-31). King Solomon explained that the virtuous woman:
- has a husband who safely trusts in her (Prov. 31:11,12).
- is not lazy, but is strong because she works to feed and clothe her family and herself (Prov. 31:13-19,21,22,24,25,27).
- pities the poor and needy (Prov. 31:20).
- has a husband who is well-known because of her godly lifestyle (Prov. 31:23).
- opens her mouth with wisdom, and speaks kindly and lovingly (Prov. 31:26).
- has children and a husband who praise her (Prov. 31:28).
- excels in what she does (Prov. 31:29).
- has works that praise her (Prov. 31:31).
Prov. 31:30 explains the virtuous woman isΒ βa woman that feareth the LORD.β
The Apostle Paul wrote that godly women should: not slander/gossip, not be controlled by alcohol and emotions (sober minded), be teachers of good things, love their husbands and children, be cautious and modest, maintain the home, beΒ βgood,βΒ and should obey (respect) their husbandsβ¦Β βthat the word of God be not blasphemedβΒ (Titus 2:3-5). A Christian woman, especially a mother, should be a virtuous woman in beliefsΒ as well as in deed.Β She needs to set an example for her children (especially her daughters).
A Christian woman and/or Christian mother places her faith in this sound Bible doctrine, the indwelling Holy Spirit will then take that doctrine and transform her for Godβs glory (1 Thes.Β 2:13). Her mind will be renewed by sound Bible doctrine, and that will transform her outward activity (Rom. 12:1,2).
Are you a Christian woman or Christian mother who desires to be the woman God intends you to be in Christ Jesus? Place your faith in this sound Bible doctrine, and God will take care of the rest!
