What is a Virtuous Woman?

A virtuous woman is a woman who follows the commands God gave the woman in the bible. She does not go out and do the mans job. And if she does, the bible is being blasphemed. Unless she is helping her husband in his own business or in a family business because she is serving her family.

Titus 2:5 " To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands"(or father), "that the word of God be not blasphemed."

A virtuous woman is a woman who is trying to follow Christ and who is wanting others to see Christ in her. She is willing to help others and serve her family.

Proverbs 31:10-29 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. - 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. - 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. - 13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. - 14 She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. - 15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. - 16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. - 17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. - 18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. - 19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. - 20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. - 21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. - 22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. - 23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. - 24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. - 25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. - 26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. - 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. - 28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. - 29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

Not only does the virtuous woman serve her family but she makes and sells things. She helps with the finances. She works willingly with her hands. She loves to serve her family in other words. A virtuous woman is praised by her family and called blessed. True godly men want a virtuous woman. And so does God.

We together can serve our family like this virtuous woman unmarried or married. Those of us who are not married can serve our fathers and siblings. Let us as sisters in Christ encourage one another to be virtouse and to do the things Proverbs tells us to do.

I hope that I one day will be the one that is called a woman far above rubies. And I hope that for you to.
