A wife that can be hard to find!

God gives us a description of what a godly wife will be like here in proverbs 31. Ladies for you the description is what God desires in you and men this is what you should seek in a wife. I am so thankful God has provided me with such a wife whom to be honest I don't deserve...thank you Jesus!





Proverbs 31:10-31

The Virtuous Wife

10 Who can find a virtuous wife?

For her worth is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;

So he will have no lack of gain.

12 She does him good and not evil

All the days of her life.

13 She seeks wool and flax,

And willingly works with her hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

She brings her food from afar.

15 She also rises while it is yet night,

And provides food for her household,

And a portion for her maidservants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

From her profits she plants a vineyard.

17 She girds herself with strength,

And strengthens her arms.

18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,

And her lamp does not go out by night.

19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,

And her hand holds the spindle.

20 She extends her hand to the poor,

Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,

For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

22 She makes tapestry for herself;

Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates,

When he sits among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

And supplies sashes for the merchants.

25 Strength and honor are her clothing;

She shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,

And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She watches over the ways of her household,

And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;

Her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “ Many daughters have done well,

But you excel them all.”

30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,

But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,

And let her own works praise her in the gates.



Wow what a woman. To sum it up....she works long hard days to takes care of her children and husband. She fears the Lord. She is in His Word as that is where she gains her wisdom. She reaches out to take care of those in need. She is crafty and finds ways to help support the family financially. The husband brags on her because of her godly life....wow! God desires women to be like this and men he desires us to take care of and love our wives the way Christ loved the church and we need to brag on them!!!!



A proverbs 31 wife is to be desired by both man and woman!!!!
