A Wise Woman

This is another blog that I have enjoyed reading.  I really liked her post for today and thought I would share it.  Almost everyone knows the Proverbs 31 woman and many people strive to be like her and often use her as an example.  I know there are seasons in my life for all of these, but I still find it challenging and a great reminder of what matters in my life as a mother, wife, and a woman in a world where so many things are going against these qualities and virtues.  Below is the post from her blog.

Today I am sharing 14 marks of a wise woman. She...

•Fears God, Proverbs 31:30.

•“Openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness ,” Proverbs 31:26.

•Is content to be a “keeper at home,” Titus 2:5. (This doesn’t mean she never leaves her house, but her focus and the bulk of her attention is on her home and family.)

•Loves her husband and children, Titus 2:4.

•Is focused more on inward character than outward adornment, I Peter 3:3-4.

•Is modestly attired, I Timothy 2:9.

•Is trustworthy, Proverbs 31:11.

•Has a meek and quiet spirit, I Peter 3:4.

•Is industrious, Proverbs 31:13-27.

•Is giving, Proverbs 31:20, Luke 8:3.

•Is discreet, Titus 2:5. (“of a sound mind, sane, in one’s senses, curbing one’s desires and impulses, self-controlled, temperate,”)

•Is chaste, Titus 2:5.(“exciting reverence, venerable, sacred, pure; pure from carnality, chaste, modest; pure from every fault, immaculate; clean”).

•Builds up instead of tearing down, Proverbs 14:1, Ephesians 4:29.

•Is praiseworthy, Proverbs 31:28-31.




Do these marks describe you?


Now if someone asked your husband and children---would they wholeheartedly agree?
