(www.mimejoralabanza.com) — Considering the text of our proverbist, where he opens the following question in the book of proverbs chapter 31:10:
1-The virtuous woman fears Jehovah
30 Deceitful is grace, and beauty is vain;
The woman who fears Jehovah, that one will be praised.
The woman who is truly virtuous will fear God above all things, and when we talk about a God-fearing woman we are talking about a woman whose every step she takes is as if God is behind her, considering that God’s eyes are upon her. from it and must guard against evil, from sin.
two-The virtuous woman considers her dress
1 Timothy 2:9: Likewise, women should adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and modesty; not with ostentatious hairstyle, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly clothes,
When the Bible tells us about modesty and modesty, it is not trying to say that women should dress as if they were inside a sack, it is trying to say that your clothing should also glorify God and if your clothing is sensual then you are not glorifying Him , so I think that every woman when buying her clothes or looking in a mirror should look at her body from head to toe and ask herself the following question: Do these clothes I’m wearing please God? It may sound legalistic, but what we must understand is that we are different from those people who are without Christ, therefore, everything we do must be for the glory of God.
A woman who is truly virtuous considers her clothing so as not to offend God with her clothing, keeping her body pure for God and her husband.
3-The virtuous woman makes her husband confident.
Proverbs 31:11: Her husband’s heart is confident in her, And he will not lack earnings.
There is nothing better than a calm marriage, where there is no jealousy, and this is the point where a truly virtuous woman must fully win her husband’s trust. We know that there are couples where there is no room for jealousy, where a happy marriage is lived, where each one is not afraid that their partner will be unfaithful, now, we see that these things are earned, as the proverb tells us:
Her husband’s heart is confident in her, And he will not lack profit.
So if you are truly virtuous you will make your husband trust you and be calm.
4-The virtuous woman is “attentive”
Proverbs 31:
15- He gets up even at night
And feed his family
And ration to her maids.
16 Consider the inheritance, and buy it,
And he plants a vineyard of the fruit of his hands.
17 Gird up his loins with strength,
And stretch your arms.
The woman who is truly virtuous is concerned about all the things that concern her at home, being attentive to those things that correspond to her, she is not lazy.
We cannot link machismo with this, a man must also help his wife at home, but the woman must take the initiative in what concerns the organization of the home.
5- The virtuous woman builds her house
Pr 14:1: The wise woman builds her house; but she the fool with her hands knocks her down.
“The wise woman builds her house”
If you are truly virtuous, you will build your home in every sense of the word, especially in the spiritual sense. If you see that your home is dwindling in prayer and in spiritual things and you see that your partner does not take the initiative, then take it yourself and build your house, knowing that the fundamental foundation of a home is Christ, and if we are not linked to that foundation, our home can easily be destroyed.
6- The virtuous woman knows how to choose her partner
The virtuous woman will be very observant when making the decision to have a partner, she will not take only beauty, because as the proverb tells us: “Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain.” Therefore, the truly virtuous woman will choose a man who loves God and his word.
7- The virtuous woman glorifies God regardless of her situation.
We have all read the story of Job, when his own wife tells him: “Curse your God and die” (Job 2:9). The truly virtuous woman knows how to glorify God in a difficult moment, knowing that everything works for the best and that at her time God will bring calm.
