A Virtuous Woman

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. (Proverbs 31:10)

This is an appropriate Biblical question for Mother’s Day. It is the third in a series of Biblical questions. One would need to know what traits or characteristics he is looking for in his search for a virtuous woman. The key to finding such a woman is found in the verses that follow the question.

As we look in this passage a virtuous woman is described as trustworthy, hard working, keeps food in the pantry for her family and is industrious. She is further described as benevolent, fearless in hard times, contributes to her husband’s success, a woman of strength, dresses and talks like a lady and she is God fearing. She is greatly loved and appreciated by her family.

The Bible doesn’t say she is perfect, but she is priceless. The Bible gives her worth as, “far above rubies,” one off the rarest of gem stones.

It is appropriate here for your writer to say to our mothers, “Happy Mother’s Day.”
