A Proverbs 31 Woman: Part 6

The final characteristic of a virtuous woman is her excellence as person. Proverbs 31:30-31 "Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands and let her works praise her in the gates." She is a God-fearing woman. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, for the recognition of His power and might and overwhelming, and as man was created in His image, so was woman the apple of His eye. Crafted by God as an image of beauty and purity, a godly woman is a force that can be trusted throughout the most difficult time for she will endure. Her strength is tied to her love and support, just as she supports and loves her husband, so the two of them succeed together. Therefore she is to be praised above all others, for a virtuous woman demonstrates the love and compassion of God; displaying the best qualities that He has enabled a wife with and should be recognized for her efforts.
