A Capable Wife/Woman
Who can find a virtuous and capable wife?
She is more precious than rubies?
Proverbs 31:10
For her price is far above rubies.
She is more precious than rubies?
Proverbs 31:10
Who can find a virtuous woman?
The first part of verse 10 literally reads, "Who can find a woman of strength?"
The term "virtuous" is from a noun meaning strength, efficiency, ability.
Here it refers to strength of character, that is, moral strength and firmness.
The term "virtuous" is from a noun meaning strength, efficiency, ability.
Here it refers to strength of character, that is, moral strength and firmness.
For her price is far above rubies.
She is far more valuable and worth far more than rubies.
The Hebrew term for "rubies" may not refer to rubies, but may refer to pink pearls or red coral.
A pink pearl which was found in a mollusk in the Red Sea was considered of great value to the ancients.
It is difficult to know exactly which stone or pearl this Hebrew word referred to, but its usage in the Old Testament tells us two things for sure:
1) It was very valuable (see Proverbs 20:15 and Job 28:18);
2) It was reddish in color (Lamentations 4:7--"ruddy").

1) It was very valuable (see Proverbs 20:15 and Job 28:18);
2) It was reddish in color (Lamentations 4:7--"ruddy").
Who can find a virtuous woman (a woman of strength)? She is like a rare gem.
Precious stones are precious and costly because they are so rare.
If you could go out along the roadside and collect hundreds of rubies anytime you wanted to, then they would not be worth much. It is the rare, hard to find gems that are worth so much.
Also, for some reason God made most common stones unattractive;
yet He made most rare stones very beautiful and brilliant and lustrous.
The virtuous woman is a beautiful woman, not necessarily outwardly, but certainly inwardly
(see Prov. 31:30). She is not only a rare gem but a beautiful gem.

The virtuous woman is a beautiful woman, not necessarily outwardly, but certainly inwardly
(see Prov. 31:30). She is not only a rare gem but a beautiful gem.
A godly woman is rare and very hard to find. The same thing could be said about the godly man.
Number one on the endangered species list is the Homo sapiens pious*:
"Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men" (Psalm 12:1).
There are hardly any such creatures around, and the few that do exist will eventually die out!
May God in His infinite grace and mercy be pleased to raise up godly men and women in these difficult and trying days. [*Pious is the Latin word for "godly."]

May God in His infinite grace and mercy be pleased to raise up godly men and women in these difficult and trying days. [*Pious is the Latin word for "godly."]
If a young man is looking for a godly woman, how can he find her?
First he should trust God to find her for him.
Second, he must realize that a virtuous woman is not going to want just any man.
She is going to want to find a virtuous man
(a man of strength, a man valiant for the truth, a godly servant of Christ).
So if you want to have any chance of finding such a gem, you must be a gem yourself.
Exercise yourself unto godliness.
Learn the fear of the Lord. Dare to be different.
Dare to go against the flow of the world, and to be transformed by the renewing of your mind
(Rom. 12:2). Be the kind of a man that would attract the interest of the godly woman!
First he should trust God to find her for him.

Dare to go against the flow of the world, and to be transformed by the renewing of your mind
(Rom. 12:2). Be the kind of a man that would attract the interest of the godly woman!
So in this opening verse we have learned that the godly woman is very hard to find.
She is more valuable than a rare gem.
She has an inner beauty and a strength of character and a moral firmness that is lacking in the vast majority of women, even believing women.
She is more valuable than a rare gem.

Narrative to "All The Days Of Our Lives" - Prov 31:12
Proverbs 31:12
She will do him good, and not evil
Her husband can safely trust in her because he does not need to worry about her being a financial liability (v. 11) and because he knows that she will do him only good, and not evil. "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor from the LORD" (Prov. 18:22). Of course, the man must find the right kind of wife. Job's wife was a curse who only added to his trials (Job 2:9-10). Some men find "a crown to their head" while others find "rottenness to their bones" (Prov. 12:4). One of the reasons Proverbs 31:10-31 was written, no doubt, was to help guide men in finding the right kind of wife. [Some see Proverbs 31:10-31 as a continuation of what King Lemuel's mother taught him (Proverbs 31:1-9), concluding with this description of an ideal wife for her royal son.] The key to finding the right woman, is to look to the Lord in prayer and steadfast trust, so that God Himself might be the One who finds her. God knows who my life partner should be.
The verb "will do" is of interest. It is not the common Hebrew verb for "do." It means to deal out, to deal fully, to deal bountifully. At times it even approaches the meaning of "to reward, to pay back." Let's illustrate how it is used.
In 1 Samuel 24:17 David had just spared Saul's life even though he easily could have killed his persecutor. Saul's response: "Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil." Saul deserved evil but David dealt with him in a good way. Saul dished out evil to David but David dished out good to Saul who actually deserved evil. In Genesis 50:15,17 the term is used of Joseph's guilty brothers who remembered what they had done to Joseph: "Joseph...will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him....So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil." They dealt out and dished out evil to Joseph but he did not pay them back in the same way. Joseph saw God's good and sovereign hand in it all (Gen. 50:20).
This verb is also used of the LORD who deals bountifully with his servants. See Psalm 13:6; 116:7; 119:17; 142:7.
The virtuous woman deals out to her husband that which is good. She dishes out to him and serves him that which is good and not evil. She wants only God's highest and best for him. Her life and her deeds are a constant benefit and blessing to her husband.
All the days of her life
In doing good to her husband she is consistent. She doesn't serve him that which is good one day and that which is evil the next day. Her husband can count on her to do him good and to be a blessing to him. He can count on her to do this today, five days from now, one year from now, ten years from now, and all the days of her life. She is not up and down, hot and cold. Her godliness is marked with consistency.

Is She Wise & Kind
For when she speaks, her words are wise. And she gives instructions with kindness.
Proverbs 31:26
What comes out of the mouth is an indication of what is in the heart. Our speech reveals our heart. Out of a wise heart come wise words. Out of a kind heart come kind words. Out of a loving heart come loving words.
Proverbs 31:26

What of a Wise Woman
A Wise Woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Proverbs 14:1
Every wise woman buildeth her house,.... Not only by her fruitfulness, as Leah and Rachel built up the house of Israel; but by her good housewifery, prudent economy; looking well to the ways of her household; guiding the affairs of her house with discretion; keeping all things in a good decorum; and bringing up her children in virtue, and in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
. Wise women order well their household matters and their families; they have an important influence, and exercise it beneficially.
BUT
A woman who has no fear of God, who is willful and wasteful, and indulges her ease, will as certainly ruin her family, as if she plucked her house down.
Proverbs 14:1

Reasons To Be Kind To Yourself
As a mother, sister &/or companion we at times put our needs and feelings on the back burner to care for those we love.
Ephesians 4:32 NKJV
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Our heavenly Father is kind to us.
And since he is so kind to us, can't we be a little kinder to ourselves?
Oh, But you are thinking she don't know me and my thoughts, complaints, regrets and grumbles.
You right I don't but he does!
God knows everything about you.
Now has he , knowing all your mistakes, broken promises, friends you've wrongly talked about -------- yet he still did not retract one promise or reclaimed a single gift.
He is Kind.
Why not believe in yourself as he does?
He believes in you enough to call you his friend, follower and child.
A Love Worth Giving
These words were inspired by Max Lucado - Grace for the moment
