I have been scouring over all kinds of material on being a virtuous person, and I am even more determined then ever to tell all the women who read this website,to take a long hard look at who you are in Christ, because to be a virtuous women means alot.

It means you are called to go into battle. It means you are fearless and capable of handling the tasks that God lays before you. It means there isnt nothing that you cant or wouldnt do for your family.

Its almost impossible to do everything that the world tells you that you need to do but its not impossible to do what God tells you to do, as a wife and mother.

Being a virtuous wife can be made alittle easier by being a spiritually prepared woman and by being organized. Putting on the strength of the Lord to accomplish your day.

There is nothing that you cant do, if you trust in the Lord to work through you. If you take the time to talk to other women and find out what works and what dont you can save yourself alot of heartache.

Women are to work together, teaching each other as we go, helping one another.

God doesnt expect you to be perfect. But he does expect you to pick up the qualities of a good woman and do them the best you can.

You can do it, You are Gods daughter and He has the power to carry you through, even when the going gets tough and there seems to be no hope.

virtuous

Goodness, righteous, pure, a conforming to standards of what is right and just and to approved codes of behavior; goodness implies inherent qualities of kindness, benevolence, and generosity

An article written by Daniel Sheard in Israel, My Glory, March-May/1988, entitled "Who Can Find A Virtuous Woman?" gives God's picture of Wisdom. He writes: Men, I am sorry. God did not personify wisdom by applauding the virtues of a man. This is not to say that He could not; God can do anything. But He did so by picturing wisdom through the finest qualities of womanhood, and there is something uniquely appropriate in this analogy. 

The Book of Proverbs praises the supreme value of an excellent wife by alluding to her as wisdom itself, a priceless gem. "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies: (Prov. 31:10; cp. Prov. 3:15, 8:3). God did not conclude this, the most famous book on wisdom ever written, with a platitude that is difficult to grasp. He gave a flesh and blood picture of true excellence and did so by describing the ideal wife. 
  
I appreciate this perspective of a virtuous woman. It's a good view and one that we should take note of. We tend to be down on ourselves so much. When I teach on a virtuous woman, most women think they'll never attain unto what is laid down in Scripture. To me, it's like the Christian walk. If we look at those around us, we'll tend to get discouraged. We're all at a different level. Just like children, you wouldn't expect your 6 yr. old to do what a 15 yr. old is doing. It's the same with you. God sees you right where you are and that's where you need to get up and get going from. When more light is given, more is required.  We don't get in bad shape over night, so we shouldn't expect to fix everything overnight.

Definition of Virtuousness: goodness, righteous, purity. A conforming to standards of what is right and just and to approved codes of behavior; goodness implies inherent qualities of kindness, benevolence, and generosity. 

The virtuous woman is a woman of strength; though the weaker vessel, she is yet made strong by wisdom and grace and fear of God. Perhaps one reason for the rarity of a virtuous woman is that she is seldom sought. Too often the search is made for accomplishments and external qualities rather than for godly internal worth.

This "virtuous wife" of Proverbs 31 was compassionate, competent, dependable, industrious, skillful, and an astute business woman. God had given her skills in many areas, and her family encouraged her abilities. Her children praised her, and her husband took great pride in her accomplishments. Far from being a hindrance to her husband, she contributed to his position of honor in the community. He even praised her publicly for what she'd done.
