The Ideal Woman

Although Proverbs 31:10-31 was written a long time ago to the ones who lived in that time frame, it can still be applied to our life today. Many bibles including The New International Version titles this section of scripture "The Wife Of Noble Character"

Lets take time to read it:

A wife of noble charcter who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.

She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark:she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it: out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously: her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out in the night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.

When it snows, she has no fear for her household: for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed: she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity: she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed: her husband also, and he praises her: Many women do noble things but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting: but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

This presents a challenge for womanhood,are you The ideal Woman? A diligent homemaker, valuable helper, nurturing mom.....a upright and God-fearing woman. The Ideal Woman, shows a enduring, satisfying fear of the Lord with a reverent and obedient spirit that makes her worthy of praise and honor from not only her family but from her Creator himself.(proverbs 31:30). Sometimes it is a challenge to do for others without losing your own idenity and its very demanding to go for but the outcome is worth it.

A Ideal Woman- made by God.....never failing, reliable wisdom, truth,a tower of strength, a mine of wealth and overflowing with comfort and joy for others Are you striving to be The Ideal Woman?
