Inspiration for Women of Faith

​​​​The best answer to this question can be found in Proverbs 31:10-31. The Virtuous Woman described in this chapter is both inspirational and influential. She characterizes the ultimate wise and industrious woman of faith throughout history.
​
Apart from the fact that she was likely not a real person but an "ideal" set forth to us by the Holy Spirit, we can derive from the text, exactly what the Lord thinks of this woman.
​
The Lord thinks this woman is amazing! Just look at everything this Virtuous woman can do! 
​
She can manage the house, the children, the meals, the servants, all with grace and dignity — and she can run and operate her own business, too!
​
Not to mention, the simple fact that her husband LOVES her and considers her to be more valuable than rubies. Wow.
​
Even her children rise up and call her blessed!! I'm sure this included adult children as well...
​
And her husband is known in the gates — meaning, people have esteem for who he is — because he has a lovely devoted wife taking care of things at home.
​
I believe this "ideal" woman was placed in Scripture to show every generation of women what we are capable of doing.
