Women Of Virtue…. What Do They Look Like?



Scripture: Proverbs 31:10 & 28 "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies ... Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband praises her."

Today Let’s Look At mothers or women who have influenced your life. Likewise, there is no greater need or satisfaction than for a child to have a mother who is a blessing or for a husband to have a virtuous wife whom he can trust and truthfully praise. Solomon declared that the value of this type of mother and woman is far above monetary value. She can't be purchased with the simple price of rubies, and her role and influence cannot be passed over as unimportant.

She directs the future, as she has an awesome part in "training up her children in the way that they should go, so that they do not depart from the right path" (Proverbs 22:6)In II Timothy 1:5, we see an example of the importance of mothers and grandmothers who taught and lived their faith in front of their children. Paul taught and mentored Timothy in the things of the Lord, yet, he gave much of the credit for Timothy's faith to Timothy's mother, Lois, and his grandmother, Eunice. Paul said that he remembered Timothy's sincere and unqualified faith, for Timothy had been taught to lean entirely upon God and had displayed an absolute trust and confidence in God's power, wisdom, and goodness. Paul had also seen this same type of simple but profound trust in God in the hearts of Timothy's mother and grandmother, who were women of virtue. It was easy to recognize that their influence had affected Timothy in a big way and that the pure faith that they possessed had been transferred to him in the same degree and measure.

Lois and Eunice had been diligent to train Timothy in the things of God and in the way that he should go. The evidence of their faith lingered in the heart of Timothy and the results could definitely be seen.We should never forget how important women's roles are as mothers, grandmothers, and wives. Those of us who are women should strive to become women of purpose and endeavor to develop the characteristics of a virtuous woman. Proverbs 31:10-31 declares that a virtuous woman has strength, ability, efficiency, wealth, valor, and faith, and is excellent in every way. Her price is far above rubies and she cannot be purchased. Her love, faithfulness, and service to her home and family come free. Her repayment for her many sacrifices come when her children rise up and call her blessed and her husband praises her.
May He Bless You and Keep You Today!
