All four of these bullet points are some what things we do everyday throughout our life style. We worry about what we are going to have for dinner when we are eating lunch; we worry about what we are going to wear the next day the night before; and also, one of the ones I really want to bring about is the fourth one, do not worry about your body. Each day we see other girls; skinny, tan, long and beautiful hair, makeup, and name branded clothing, and say 'I wish I could at least have one of those things.' Well here is the sad thing. Some of those girls you will look at that has those things, are sometimes fake, but also are using those things to cover something that they don't want people to notice, and that's true beauty, and sometimes you may not think it's pretty enough for the world, so you go and make it pretty from what the world says is pretty. Our mind set as girls, which my heart is so heavy from hearing girls or seeing girls try to make themselves so presentable just to get the attention they have been seeking there whole lives, is that we don't understand there is only one person we should be trying to present or impress, and he is a pretty special person in my life that has been the center of my life. God not only sees you from the outside appearance, but also from the inside, and let me tell you, God sees the beauty of a woman's heart and when that woman of God lets her heart shine through her, more than what the outside appearance looks like, that is the most beautiful thing on a woman.
The Bible speaks about a virtuous woman. Who is she? How in His word does God describe her? So many questions are asked with this chapter.
Verse 11: Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
•• A virtuous woman inspires absolute confidence in her husband. He can “safely trust in her." She is not impetuous, scatterbrained, or unpredictable. Rather, she can be trusted. Her husband can be confident in her. She will never deliberately let him down.
•• The husband of a biblical, virtuous woman “lacks nothing of value”. That is illustrated by some of her remarkable traits in the succeeding verses.What are the virtues of a woman of God?
1) A woman of God.
2) A pure heart and mind.
3) Serves God with all her heart.
4) Does not dwell on anything non-pleasing. (1 Peter 2:21)
5) Has an inner beauty that only comes from Christ.
We look at these things, these five things, and think of how in the world can we be like that, a woman of Christ. Through Christ may we be a woman of God. Through faith may we have a pure heart and mind. Through love may we serve God will all our heart. Through Christ, we can have that inner beauty. We, woman of Christ, need to rise up as this generation, and I'm not just talking about just telling people you are a woman of God, but putting action to it. Follow Proverbs 31:10-31. Can you seek God with your whole heart?
