8 Characteristics Of A Virtuous Woman... by winner01(m): 7:24pm On Mar 06, 2015
This is the description of a virtuous woman of those days,but the general outlines equally suit every age and nation. She is very careful to recommend herself to her husband's esteem and affection, to know his mind, and is willing that he rule over her.

1. She can be trusted, and he will leave such a wife to
manage for him. He is happy in her. And she makes it her
constant business to do him good.

2. She is one that takes pains in her duties, and takes
pleasure in them. She is careful to fill up time, that none be
lost. She rises early. She applies herself to the business
proper for her, to women's business. She does what she
does, with all her power, and trifles not.

3. She makes what she does turn to good account by
prudent management. Many undo themselves by buying,
without considering whether they can afford it. She provides
well for her house. She lays up for hereafter.

4. She looks well to the ways of her household, that she may
oblige all to do their duty to God and one another, as well as to her.

5. She is intent upon giving as upon getting, and does it
freely and cheerfully.

6. She is discreet and obliging; every word she says, shows
she governs herself by the rules of wisdom. She not only
takes prudent measures herself, but gives prudent advice to
others. The law of love and kindness is written in the heart,
and shows itself in the tongue. Her heart is full of another
world, even when her hands are most busy about this world.

7. Above all, she fears the Lord. Beauty recommends none
to God, nor is it any proof of wisdom and goodness, but it
has deceived many a man who made his choice of a wife by
it. But the fear of God reigning in the heart, is the beauty of
the soul; it lasts for ever.

8. She has firmness to bear up under crosses and
disappointments. She shall reflect with comfort when she
comes to be old, that she was not idle or useless when
young. She shall rejoice in a world to come. She is a great
blessing to her relations. If the fruit be good, the tree must
have our good word. But she leaves it to her own works to
praise her. Every one ought to desire this honour that
cometh from God; and according to this standard we all
ought to regulate our judgments.

This description let all women daily study, who desire to be truly beloved and respected, useful and honourable.
This passage is to be applied to individuals, but may it not
also be applied to the church of God, which is described as a virtuous spouse? God by his grace has formed from among sinful men a church of true believers, to possess all the excellences here described...

Proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a
woman who fears the LORD shall be praised.

God bless you.
