PHOTO: A virtuous woman is very careful to recommend herself to her husband's esteem and affection, to know his mind, and is willing to let him rule over her. She leaves it to her own works and happiness around her to praise her. She fears the Lord. The fear of God reigning in the heart, is the beauty of the soul which lasts for ever.
She may oblige all to do their duty to God and one another. The law of love and kindness is written in the heart, and shows itself in the tongue. She governs herself by the rules of wisdom and can be trusted. She provides well for her house by prudent management of the account, and takes pain and pleasure in her duties. She shall rejoice in a world to come. She is a great blessing to her relations.
The everyday achievements of a 'CEO' who keeps her household functioning day and night by buying, trading, investing, planting, sewing, spindling, managing servants, extending charity, providing food for the family, and preparing for each season. Despite her tremendous contributions, she is humble and does not demand attention to the often-overlooked glory of the everyday. [2]
God by his grace has formed from among sinful men a church of true believers, to possess all the excellence here described.
This description let all women daily study, who desire to be truly beloved and respected, useful and honourable.

Proverbs 31:10-31, Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character
10 [a]A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

8. She has firmness to bear up under crosses and disappointments. She shall reflect with comfort when she comes to be old, that she was not idle or useless when young. She shall rejoice in a world to come. She is a great blessing to her relations. If the fruit be good, the tree must have our good word. But she leaves it to her own works to praise her.
PHOTO: "Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate." (Proverbs 31:31). She overcome all odds and obstacles during her youth. Well in years, she can look forward to more blessing that is descended upon her.

Every one ought to desire this honour that cometh from God; and according to this standard we all ought to regulate our judgments. This description let all women daily study, who desire to be truly beloved and respected, useful and honourable. This passage is to be applied to individuals, but may it not also be applied to the church of God, which is described as a virtuous spouse? God by his grace has formed from among sinful men a church of true believers, to possess all the excellence here described.

PHOTO:"Dear Lord, thank You. Your grace has formed from among sinful men a church of true believers, to possess all the excellence described in Proverbs 31:10-31. Help us to pay attention to the often-overlooked wisdom and glory of the everyday. We pray that the law of love and kindness be written in our hearts, and that we submit ourselves to be governed by the rules of wisdom from God. Let the fear of God reign in our hearts, to beautify our souls forever. Please help us to come together to receive the great blessing in our relationships with one another, and to rejoice in a world to come. Through Lord Jesus Christ we prayed. Amen!"
