Are you a Virtuous Woman?

God knows we need a reference to follow and imitate. In modern days and in ancient days, God was already thinking about it. For women, he gave us a really good model to follow and live by. Yes, that model can be seen in Proverbs 31. God wants to inspire you so you can model the way of being and living as a virtuous woman.

The scripture has many references that serve as examples for us all, let’s see some of them before we continue.

Here are some inspiring examples that we can see as role models

• Jesus is a role model that teaches us to live in the spirit and submit to the fathers will.

• Daniel was and continues to be a role model that we can refer to as well, from his life we can learn that it is possible to survive and be pure and faithful to God in a place where there are other gods "Babylon", Daniel showed us it’s possible to live a godly life in a corrupted society.

• Rut taught us to be faithful to God and people, no matter what even after losing a loved one.

• Esther taught us to respond to a calling and be an instrument to bless and preserve the life of others.

Now when we think about how women should be good role models, God gives us a model by giving us the example of a virtuous woman.

Can you believe one chapter in the bible has been dedicated to highlighting the qualities of a virtuous woman? ..........how amazing is it that you and I can go to scripture and see the quality of life that a virtuous woman has.

Society has devalued the role of women in many ways, women have been attacked, persecuted, oppressed, and denied favor in many aspects. But God sees women in a totally different way. God recognizes our value, honor, strength, grace, rights, and dignity. God wants to position women in society but first, he needs to make sure they know their value and identity.

In our recent episode Johanne, Christi, and Kim shared about what a virtuous is. We recommend you listen to it, We believe the Lord will touch your heart.

To become a virtuous woman and understand what truly means to be one, please read

Proverbs 31

We will take verses 25 and 26 to mention some good points and invite you to reflect on them.

Proverbs 31:

25 Strength and honor are her clothing, and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

Basically what it's saying is that a virtuous woman dresses with strength and honor, speaks with wisdom, and kindness is part of her life. The Beauty of women is within her: honor, strength, wisdom, and kindness are attributes and virtuous that are within us. God is inviting us to focus on those attributes.

The Beauty of us as women is present in our inner being, the Lord wants to enrich our lives in many ways, and by having those virtues our true Beauty " the Beauty of the soul can be truly seen" That is the type of Beauty God called us to portray. Don’t allow society to label you, you are called to model the virtuous women way.

We believe the Lord is raising you as an example of true beauty, you are called to be that virtuous woman that reflects that kind of Beauty to the world around you.

Blessings, share this with your sisters and let them also be touched by God as they read and listen to the episode.
