Qualities of the Virtuous, Godly Woman Proverbs 31:10~31. REMEMBER that YOU will stand before the Almighty to give full account of your life. You will answer to Him for how you either repented and obeyed HIS order of creation and purpose for women, or rebelled with all the other many jezebels today. All females are wholly accountable to our Maker to be His worshipper, to be a wife who loves your husband, and a mother to the children He brings out of that marriage – to train them up in His holy ways (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:18; Proverbs 22:6, etc.). The LORD didn’t call any woman to be a “career woman.” Think ROLES. This was Satan’s distraction from the beginning. That doesn’t mean the Proverbs 31 virtuous woman isn’t industrious and yet she does this from home, as a keeper at home (Titus 2:3-5). America began its decline when the women left the home. It is highly recommended that you follow Lori Alexander, The Transformed Wife on social media.
Question:
So, the Bible prohibits women from fulfilling the role that our Creation clearly ordain for men to fulfill. Yet, to balance things out, what can a women do, in ministry sense?
Answer:
Hi. Good question. Romans 16 features several women who served. Women are blessed to serve in a myriad of hospitable ways with a meek and quiet spirit, including:
- Telling others about Jesus (John 4:28-30),
- Loving, reverencing and obeying their husbands (Eph. 5:22, 33; Titus 2:5),
- Prophesying (Acts 21:9)
- Teaching the younger women (Titus 2:4),
- Remaining in the role which God created for them,
- Making her husband stand out, loving him, taking care of the household, being industrious, buying and selling real estate, etc. (Titus 2:5; Proverbs 31).
- Etc.
“Personally I love being a Gal for my God…. I know my place it is a very happy good place, divine order, my Father God, my husband, they are my Heads, our lives flow like a river, we are established on a firm foundation….. yes we may be old fashioned as some say, I say we are God Fashioned!” Anne Sedler
WHERE God Looks
“For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9
God isn’t looking on your makeup or outer appearance, but on your heart.
“Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
1Pe 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
1Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1Pe 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
1Pe 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. ” 1 Peter 3:1-6
Jezebellian feminism is destroying our country, all by itself. In God’s Word women are told to be “keepers at home” Titus 2:1-5…. yet this in no way hinders her from being super industrious as we see in Proverbs 31.
Research every single verse in God’s Word to learn this whole doctrine for God’s most beautiful creation – women – who are to be loved and cherished by men but never put before God (like Adam and Ahab and many today are doing).
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Proverbs 31:10
Note in this chapter 31 of Proverbs, that the virtuous woman is multi-faceted. She is not limited. She is certainly not self-centered. She is industrious, loving, faithful to God and her husband. She cooks. She serves. She is fulfilled. She blesses her children. Her children rise up and call her blessed. She carefully builds her house in all she does. All of her words and actions and attitudes elevate her husband and children because she daily basks in the presence of the One who made and saved her soul.
“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1
Jezebel destroys while the God-fearing woman builds up and blesses. She is a meek, quiet-spirited, and humble servant. She is crucified with Christ and so has no self-agenda. She is given over to the Savior. In the heart of the God-fearing woman is no excuse-making process. She knows that Jezebel must die. Every trace of Jezebellian must be vanquished. It must be crucified.
No words can possibly express how powerful the impact of a God-fearing woman who refuses to walk according to the counsel of the ungodly but rather obediently adheres to the words of her God and Judge – Jesus Christ. Read Psalm 1.
The virtuous woman fears the LORD and not men – she refuses to follow the masses of women who are in rebellion against the One who made them for a very special purpose. She walks in that divinely ordained place, in the order in which He made her to function in the role of a woman, wife, mother.
The woman of virtue is a blessing and a gift to all she comes into contact with. She never leaves them as she found them but always lifted upward. She is self-less and joyfully serves the Savior. Her priorities are squared 1. Jesus, 2. her husband, 3. her children, 4. The body of Christ, 5. the lost…etc. God-fearing women are precious jewels that the world cannot properly live without!!!!!
Pr 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
Pr 31:11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
Pr 31:12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Pr 31:13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
Pr 31:14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
Pr 31:15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
Pr 31:16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
Pr 31:17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
Pr 31:18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
Pr 31:19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
Pr 31:20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
Pr 31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
Pr 31:22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
Pr 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
Pr 31:24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
Pr 31:25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
Pr 31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Pr 31:27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
Pr 31:28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
Pr 31:29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
Pr 31:30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Pr 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
PRAYER: Father, You made me, found me in my sins, and saved me. I love You. I am Your clay and You are my Potter. You are in control, not me. You must increase and I must decrease this very moment. Please pour the water of Your Holy Spirit upon me so that I will be pliable, teachable, obedient, and humbled before Your Majesty. Make me what You desire as You stated in Your Holy Word. Bless my life to delight in You wholly and to be exactly what You ordained for Your women and made plain in Your Word. Into Your hands I commend my spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“I do feel a woman’s place is at home , as a helpmeet to her husband and the home manager….boy that GOES against the world doesn’t it?/ TITUS says so…” Cheryl B.
Reply:
It sure does sister and yet, a virtuous woman, so very gifted of God, can multi-task ….. such as the many things the virtuous woman is seen participating in in Prov 31. First and foremost she took care of her husband and children and is also seen doing other things such as buying and selling real estate, etc.
Comment from a God-Fearing Woman:
In the midst of the unrelenting bombardment of filth and perversion poured at every corner of society upon women, to lead them astray from their Creator’s plan for their lives, the following is a response to this article from a Christian woman who has the desire to be what God made her to be:
“Thank you so much for your articles for women! … its so refreshing to read an article that is from the word of God! … when desire meets truth something good is bound to come from it.” Stacy K.

Stripped and Sanctified with Travis Bryan III [podcast]
“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” Jeremiah 1:10
“God allowed Job to be stripped. And I was also thinking of Jer 1:10. God uses what Satan meant to harm us for His good. Providence. Romans 8:28. As we know he did in Joseph’s life. I could be wrong but in this title is satan getting credit for stripping us?” Karen Cochran
Why Did God allow Job to Suffer, to be Tested?
Job’s Suffering, Testing
“The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” Psalms 11:5
The accuser of the brethren claimed that Job only loved and served God for what blessings God brought upon him – for selfish reasons.
“Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? 10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.” Job 1:9-11
“Job 1:11
a [put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath]
God’s Role in Affliction and Destruction
When Satan suggested that God put forth His hand and touch Job’s possessions, it was really a suggestion that God withdraw His hand of protection so Satan could destroy Job’s property (Job_1:11-12). Satan and evil forces are the agents of destruction, not God. The only sense in which God destroys is to withhold His protection and thereby turn an individual over to the devil to carry out his work upon that person. This truth is plainly demonstrated in the case of Job. Who was it that destroyed (Job_1:12-19) and afflicted the body (Job_2:7) when God permitted it to be done? The answer is Satan, and this will always be the case in instances of affliction and destruction (Luk_13:16; Jhn_10:10; Act_10:38). Satan brings about the actual happenings of accidents, sickness, disease, and calamity, then causes men to think that God brings these things to pass. Thus, He is blamed erroneously for the work of the devil by millions, even Christians who should know better. Permission by God is never the same as the work of Satan after permission is granted him: withdrawing protection and allowing another to destroy is not the same as the destruction itself. God’s work is that of deliverance; Satan’s is that of destruction (Jhn_10:10; Act_10:38).
b [he will curse thee to thy face] Satan’s theory was that no man serves God without personal material gain. If He withheld such blessings, any man would automatically curse and hate Him. This, of course, is not true, for millions have loved and served God without material gain.” Dake
“Job 1:6-12
B. Scene II: Heaven—The Lord’s Presence (1:6-12)
As the story unfolds we are told of a scene in heaven when the sons of God (angels) appeared before the LORD. Satan (the word is Hebrew for Accuser) also was present. When God spoke to Satan concerning the uprightness of His servant Job, Satan implied that the only reason Job feared God was that He had been so good to him. According to Satan, if the Lord had not put a protective hedge around Job, then he would have cursed his Creator to His face.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Hebrews 12:5-12
“5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;”
We must ask “Who am I when everything has been stripped, taken from me?” Job 1:21; 13:15
TODAY, in the crucified life, the mind of Christ, we worship God and serve others.

“The Knowledge of the Holy is Understanding” [podcast]
“He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” John 8:47
A long time friend of mine, after realizing that….
“Thank you for the lambasting.”
“For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” 2 Corinthians 2:17
“A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:” Proverbs 1:5
“Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” Proverbs 9:9-10
“The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.” Proverbs 15:31-33
“Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.” Psalms 141:5
PRAYER: Father I want the knowledge of the holy. I want to know and serve You on Your terms and no other. Please forgive my sins which include being hardened in heart, being full of pride and rebellion, being therefore unteachable. Break me dear LORD. Let the righteous, let Your people rebuke me as is needed. I want to know, love, worship, and be with You forever. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“Called, and Chosen, and Faithful” [podcast]
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14
You are called and chosen of God…. yet are you faithful to Him?
Beware of any false teacher who is not stressing the biblical truth and necessity of faithfulness to the LORD.
Who’s going to be eternally with “the Lamb”?
We are all “called, and chosen” and yet only the “faithful” shall be with the Lamb in eternity.
“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:4
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
Lots of people using the word “chosen” to make money by getting views on youtube. Yet few speaking of being truly “faithful” to God. Anyone who repents, receives Christ, and is therefore saved by Christ, and yet doesn’t endure to the end faithful to God, is going to hell (Matthew 10:22; 24:13; Colossians 1:22-23; Hebrews 3:6, 12-15; 10:26-39; Revelation 2:26, etc.).
This “chosen” word gets alot of attention because many wish to feel chosen by God and yet bring no reciprocating love back to God. And we all know that there is NO marriage without both parties loving on each other—powerfully. They want to feel special because their life is still all about them, not Jesus. They want God loving and choosing them but don’t have time to repent, lay down their life, and follow Jesus via the crucified life. They are all about self and not the Savior (Matthew 7:21-23; 25:40-45; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4, etc.).
“The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2
God does not remain in a relationship with any person who is walking in spiritual adultery.
Get that lie out of your system, now.
“But if any man love God, the same is known of him.” 1 Corinthians 8:3
There’s no doubt ever that God is going to be faithful to us.
The question is though: Are we, am I faithful and true to the LORD?
“It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” 2 Timothy 2:11-13
The Bible word “chosen” is used often today as a buzz word, as if God chooses us because of how wonderful we are is perhaps the implication. Not.
- “called”
- “chosen”
- “faithful”
“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are CALLED, and CHOSEN, and FAITHFUL.” Revelation 17:14
No relationship exists without the recipient being “faithful.”
“Many be called, but few chosen.” Matthew 20:16
Jesus says His flock is a “little flock” (Luke 12:32).
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:32
Matthew 25 is all about God’s calling and choosing and then the eternal outcome of those who obey and those who don’t.
The five foolish virgins are just as “called” and “chosen” as the five wise virgins. What’s the difference? The five wise virgins are “faithful” and the five foolish virgins are not and are going to have the door into eternal glory shut in their face. Read Matthew 25:1-13.
In His parabolic teaching of the talents that were doled out to His workers, what did Jesus tell us lies ahead for those who are not faithful stewards?
Of the unjust, the unprofitable steward that received His gift of one talent but buried it, Jesus says: “And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth” (Matthew 25:30).
And then just a few verses down we read this…
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” Matthew 25:40-46
Many wish to deceive themselves into thinking they will enjoy an eternal relationship with the Great Bridegroom in Heaven and yet choose to refuse having a “first love” relationship with the Son of God in this time of testing…..
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.” Luke 19:27
PRAYER: Open to Psalm 51 in the King James Bible and pray with David.
