Proverbs 31:30

In this verse, we discover why this woman is a great person. Her special qualities are not beauty and grace. When she is older, this woman might lose her beauty. And she might lose her grace. But she will still be a great person. And she will still be a great wife.

This woman is great because she respects God. The first lesson in wisdom is that we must respect God (Proverbs 1:7). Every woman needs to learn this lesson. And every man needs to learn this lesson too.

This woman has learned this lesson well. So this woman is really wise.

And we can see that she is wise:

• She respects God.

• She is not lazy.

• She is not proud.

• She works hard. And she is glad to work.

• She is generous to poor people.

• Her husband can trust her.

• She studies carefully. And she has learned to be wise.

• She teaches.

• She uses her money wisely.

• She is loyal.

• She is skilled. And she has many skills.

This woman has learned the lessons in the Book of Proverbs. She is a model of a wise person. Every woman should be like this woman. And every man, too, can learn from her behaviour.

If we learn to act like this woman, then we shall be wise.
