The Godly Attributes Of A Virtuous Lady

 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom we are told at the beginning of Proverbs, while at the end we discover that the attributes and characteristics of the wise woman are summed up in a few short verses which climaxes with the short statement: "A woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised."
 The Godly Attributes Of A Virtuous Lady are unattainable in our own strength, for the works of the flesh, whether good or bad, are rooted in the fruit of the old sin nature and are unacceptable to the Lord. But she who desires to be holy and virtuous, gracious and good, can only achieve this spiritual fruit through the power of the life of Christ.
 The fear of the Lord is rooted in dependency upon Christ to work His work through us. The fruit of the Spirit can only be produced in the one who trusts in the Lord with all her heart and does not lean on her own understanding. The beginning of wisdom and the fruit of virtue and can be discovered in the one who presents her body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord.
 Who can find a virtuous woman? She can only be found in the one where Christ is all in all.
Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we praise and thank You that we are positioned in Christ and clothed with His righteousness. We pray that as we abide in You and You in us, we may willingly present ourselves as living sacrifices unto You and allow Your Holy Spirit to conform us into the image and likeness of the Lord Jesus more and more with each passing day so that when others look at us, they see Christ in us, the hope of glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
