An excellent Woman 👱‍♀️
Proverbs 31
đź‘ŚAn excellent wife who can find?
She is far more precious than jewels.(Vs. 10)
👌The word “excellent” in this verse literally translates to “*a woman of strength” in Hebrew. She is physically, mentally and spiritually strong. She is:
đź‘ŚCONTENT
She is thankful for what God has provided, not jealous or constantly wanting more.(vs.11)
đź‘ŚTRUSTED
Even when times are hard, for better or for worse- she chooses to be kind. (Vs. 12)
đź‘ŚLEADS BY EXAMPLE
She didn’t rush, she planned ahead and carefully selected quality fabrics for her family, one to keep them warm and the other to keep them cool. (Vs. 13)
đź‘ŚPROVIDER
She finds joy in homemaking and buying quality ingredients for her family. (Vs. 14)
đź‘ŚWAKES UP WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE
She has a plan before the day starts and is ready to tackle what needs to be done. (Vs.15)
đź‘ŚPRACTICAL WITH MONEY
She’s business-savvy, doesn’t jump into commitments without much thought. (Vs. 16)

The virtuous woman clothes herself in Christ’s strength, studies the Word, takes responsibility, and gird’s up the loins- equipping her for the day ahead.
(Vs. 17)
đź‘ŚFUELS HER LAMP
She’s heaven-bound and preparing for eternity. (Vs.18)
đź‘ŚWELL-SKILLED
Using a distaff and spindle requires a lot of patience, and could be considered a mundane task. It’s really interesting that this is one of the qualities of an excellent woman.(vs. 19)

Everything she does is out of pure love and respect for God, not earthly praise- that fades. (Vs. 30)
đź‘ŚHER ACTIONS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
A woman like her will one day hear, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” (Vs. 31)
LET’S EXAMINE OURSELVES IF WE FIT IN TO THIS DESCRIPTION‼️
Princess Hudson
The modern Proverbs 31 Woman
She’s not glued to TV
Or addicted gadget savvy
She wakes up very early
To feed her lovely family
She profitably trades
Is generous to her maids
She does good business
Is wise and fearless
Her hands are always busy
Never takes it easy
She keeps herself abreast
To give her family the best
The weary and discouraged
They go from her encouraged
She’s an interior decorator
Other clients she’d cater
Never orders food from out
Always regular with her workout
She’s clothed wondrously
Husband’s, CEO of a company
She always plans ahead
Her family has no dread
She’s strong and dignified
Takes all things in her stride
She is beautiful from inside
And greatly praised outside
