A MODEL WIFE

 

 

When i meditated again on Proverbs 31:10-31, i saw a lot of qualities that a wife should have. 

 

These are the qualities I've learned from those passages:

 

SHE IS PRECIOUS

           verse 10: 
         It is hard to find a good wife, 
         because she is worth more than rubies.


SHE IS TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE

         verse 11:
         Her husband trusts her completely.
         With her, he has everything he needs.


SHE ALWAYS DOES GOOD TO HER HUSBAND
       
           verse 12:
         She does him good and not harm
         for as long as she lives.


SHE IS RESOURCEFUL

         verse 13:
         She looks for wool and flax
         and likes to work with her hands.


SHE  IS INDEPENDENT AND A GOOD PROVIDER

        verse 14:
         She is like a trader's ship,
        bringing food from far away.


 SHE HAS A SERVANT'S HEART 

        verse 15:         
        She gets up while it is still dark
        and prepares food for her family
        and feeds her servant girls.


SHE IS A GOOD ENTREPRENEUR/ WISE IN SPENDING MONEY

       verse 16:
        She inspects a field and buys it.
       With money she earned, she plants a vineyard.


SHE IS ENERGETIC AND FULL OF STRENGTH

        verse 17:
        She does her work with energy,
        and her arms are strong.


SHE IS EXCELLENT AND HARDWORKING 

        verse 18:
        She knows that what she makes is good.
        Her lamp burns late into the night.


SHE IS PRACTICAL

       verse 19:
         She makes thread with her hands
       and weaves her own cloth.


SHE IS GENEROUS AND KIND

       verse 20:
       She welcomes the poor
       and helps the needy.


SHE TAKES CARE OF HER FAMILY WELL

       verse 21:
         She does not worry about her family when it snows,
       because they all have fine clothes to keep them warm.


SHE IS A "FASHIONISTA"

       verse 22:
       She makes coverings for herself;
       her clothes are made of linen and other expensive material.


HER HUSBAND IS A GOOD MATCH FOR HER

       verse 23:
       Her husband is known at the city meetings,
       where he makes decisions as one of the leaders of the land.


 SHE KNOWS HOW TO EARN ADDITIONAL INCOME

       verse 24:
       She makes linen clothes and sells them
       and provides belts to the merchants.


SHE IS RESPECTABLE AND JOYFUL

        verse 25:
        She is strong and is respected by the people.
        She looks forward to the future with joy.


SHE IS WISE AND A GOOD EXAMPLE

        verse 28:
        She speaks wise words
        and teaches others to be kind.


SHE KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE HER TIME PROPERLY

       verse 29:
       She watches over her family
       and never wastes her time.


SHE IS HIGHLY HONORED BY HER HUSBAND AND KIDS

        verse 30:
        Her children speak well of her.
        Her husband also praises her,


SHE IS THE BEST

        verse 31:
        saying, "There are many fine women,
        but you are better than all of them."


SHE IS BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT

        verse 30:
        Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you,
        but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised.


SHE DESERVES THE BEST

       verse 31:
       Give her the reward she has earned;
       she should be praised in public for what she has done.


But i believe that there are still a lot of things you and i would see as we meditate on them again and again. May these passages be your inspiration as you fulfill your role as a wife.
