THE WOMAN OF VIRTUE

Hello beautiful people. Hope your day has been amazing. Today i'll like to continue from where I stopped the other day about Women and what makes a virtuous woman.

Last time I talked about this from Proverbs 31 from verse one and stopped at verse 20

Verse 20 says, She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. Women are just wonderful beings with a blessed heart. A woman also should give to the needy, no matter how little. Givers never Lack!

Today i'll talk about it from verse 21 till the end. Be blessed as you go through.

Now, Verse 21 says, When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
This means that she has a whole lot of care for her family. At night, she makes sure they are all covered so they won't be affected by cold.

Verse 22 says, She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Some people just sleep on their bare mattress with no cover at all, but a virtuous woman makes sure her mattress is duly covered. And then she has good dress sense.

Verse 23 says, Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
When a lady respects her man, he also gets the same respect or more from outsiders. And its a woman's duty to take really good care of her husband and pray for him so that he call be well presentable outside.

Verse 24 says, She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
Wow, what a woman. Last time, we talked about a lady being industrious. Apart from all the work she has been doing, here we still see that she makes cloth and sells them. Wow!

Verse 25 says, She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
This simply means that she wears strength and honour like clothes. People see the strenght she carries and value her for that. Plus she does not have any fear for the future.

Verse 26 says, She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
Wisdom is the principal thing and in all wisdom, we should get understanding. A woman with wisdom will of course also be faithful in her speeches. A virtuous woman should also be truthful and honest.

Verse 27 say, She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Hmmmmm, just like we've talked about, she is in full charge of her whole household and rakes good care of her home. She also doesn't eat in idleness means she's not lazy and doesn't take her time eating when she's meant to be busy.

Verse 28 says, Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her
Any woman who is all of the above will sure have no reason to be hated or disrespected by her children or husband. They have no choice that to bless and praise her for all she does.

Verse 29 says, Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.
Of course we have lots of women doing great things. We have the morals that don't exactly believe in God but do things normally. Those ones too are considered to be doing good works, but a virtuous woman does her things with the fear of God and thats why she surpasses all other 'many' women.

Verse 30 says, Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Wow I just mentioned this is verse 29. A woman with the fear of God is a virtuous woman and should be greatly praised. Beauty will fade but Character will remain.

Finally, Verse 31 says, Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
The gift of a man sure makes way for them. When a woman is virtuous, she automatically gets recognized even though she's far away from 'town'. God sure brings the faithful ones out of their shells and then everyone gets to honour her and she becomes a celebrity.

Conclusion: Be the virtuous woman in your home.
