The Virtuous Woman – Proverbs 31:10-31

virtous woman

Becoming the Woman God Wants Me to Be: A 90-Day Guide to Living the Proverbs 31 Life10 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.

Songs of Solomon: A Book of Love, Romance, and Relationship

The world celebrates Valentines Day today!  When I think of a better place to obtain poems, phrases, or quotes that expresses love relationship between a husband and wife, the lyrics of  The Song of Solomon in the Bible is one of best places to read. The Songs of Solomon highlights the virtues of love between a husband and his wife and  is a concrete demonstration of  marriage in accordance with God’s design. A man and woman are to spend life together within the biblical meaning of marriage, that is loving each other physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Love is not Forced. It comes Naturally.

Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases. (Songs of Solomon 2:7)

Love Cannot Be Bought

Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm.
For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave.
Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame.
Many waters cannot quench love,  nor can rivers drown it.
If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned.
(Songs of Solomon 8:6-7)

Love complements

You are all fair, my love,  And there is no spot in you. (Songs of Solomon 4:7)

How much better than wine is your love, And the scent of your perfumes, Than all spices! (Songs of Solomon 4:10)

A Loyal Love

I am my beloved’s, And my beloved is mine. (Songs of Solomon 6:3)

 

Songs of Solomon Practical Application for Today’s Age (Source: www.gotquestions.org)

Our world is confused about marriage. The prevalence of divorce and modern attempts to redefine marriage stand in glaring contrast to Solomon’s Song. Marriage, says the biblical poet, is to be celebrated, enjoyed, and revered. This book provides some practical guidelines for strengthening our marriages:
  1. Give your spouse the attention he or she needs. Take the time to truly know your spouse.
  2. Encouragement and praise, not criticism, are vital to a successful relationship.
  3. Enjoy each other. Plan some getaways. Be creative, even playful, with each other. Delight in God’s gift of married love.
  4. Do whatever is necessary to reassure your commitment to your spouse. Renew your vows; work through problems and do not consider divorce as a solution. God intends for you both to live in a deeply peaceful, secure love.
