Proverbs 31:10-20
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

Something to Think About
No matter who you are, where you’re at in your life, male or female, you can learn from the wisdom in these verses.
If your a woman who’s not married, well, have you ever considered what kind of wife you want to be. What about if you’re a woman who is married; are you being obedient to God in your marriage? Let’s not forget the guys. Have you ever considered what spiritual qualities you would desire from your future wife? To all the married men out there, are you doing everything you can to help your wife in her relationship with God and her spiritual growth?
Just a thought, attractive women are a dime a dozen, they can be found everywhere. But a woman who loves God and who rejoices in her life with her Savior is a remarkable discovery.
