A woman of valor who can find?
She is far more precious than rubies, The heart of her husband trusts in her...
She does him good and not harm All the days of her life
She rises while it is still night and provides food for the household
She opens her hand to the poor
and reaches out to the needy
Strength and dignity are her clothing
She opens her mouth with wisdom
She teaches the ways of kindness
She looks after the ways of her household
And is not idle
Her children rise up and and call her blessed,
And her husband praises her, saying
"Many women have done well, but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who reveres the Lord is to be praised.
In preparing Bible lessons for my daughter I searched the Bible for inspiration on character traits, values, morals, and wisdom that should be instilled upon my daughter as well as the young girls of our country. Not so surprisingly, I read Proverbs 31 for the first time and it really got me thinking on things I need to change to not only be able to teach this to my daughter but to also lead by an example. There are so many worldly issues, tribulations, and worries our young daughters are faced with every day due to our societies thinking, media outlets, and the culture the world has come to. It is so important to teach them what the Lord expects from them as a young girl, woman, wife, and so on.
