I have often heard Proverbs 31 read and applied to how wives
can be such a great blessing to their husbands and families.
I however as a single woman asked the
Lord one day to help me see how I can
live out this chapter in my life and therefore be a
great blessing to my father and family.
This article is the product of that desire to be a
faithful Daughter of my King, Christ Jesus.
An excellent and Virtuous Daughter lives each
day according to God's laws. She seeks after righteousness
and her worth is far above precious jewels.
Her father trusts in her, she honours and enriches
him and by her hands her family is blessed.
She brings them good and not harm all the days of her life,
she busily works with her hands in delight.
Like a merchant ship she brings food from afar,
she makes profit from what she buys and sells.
She insures good for her household.
She prepares herself spiritually and physically for
each new day and is well planned for the new days tasks,
not only for herself but also for those under her authority.
She makes her decisions based upon wisdom and
with wisdom she will see opportunity, from opportunity
she works good. Carefully she inspects each
opportunity for it's worth. She builds upon opportunity
to create another and she lets no profit be wasted.
She prepares herself to be strong and she works
hard making her arms strong.
She ensures her dealings are good and her
lamp burns into the night. Her outstretched hands
serve her family yet she is ready to help the poor and
reaches out to the needy. She has no worry for what
may come for she has prepared well.
She is a woman who 'can do'. She dresses as a woman
of great worth, her appearance brings honour to both
her earthly father and her heavenly Father.
You can see she is a daughter of the King.
Her father is well know by the elders and is held in
high regard by his community. He is a leader who
seeks after justice and righteousness.
He is all this for he has his household in order.
Virtuous is clothed with strength and dignity.
She smiles at the future, rejoicing in
what may come for she is ready.
She opens her mouth and shares wisdom from
what she has learnt. She teaches others with kindness
for she knows how far she has come.
She teaches others to be Godly, to serve in His way.
She watches over her household to make sure it is Godly.
Laziness is not what she is known by, but for
diligence and discipline.
One day her own children will bless her and her
husband with praise her, "There are many virtuous
and capable women, but you surpass them all".
She does not seek attention or attraction through
her charms because it can deceive nor
by beauty because it does not last.
She trusts and leans on her Saviour Jesus Christ
to create in her a true beauty of Godly
character and servant hood.
For a daughter who serves and fears the Lord
will be greatly praised. Give her the produce of her
hands and her diligence and let her works
praise her in her home and community.
God Bless,
