Scripture Reference: Proverbs 31:30-31(NIV)
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
Chapter 31 in the book of Proverbs is a conversation between Lemuel king of Massa and his mother. She gives him advise as to choosing a good woman.
The Proverbs’ woman shines as an inspiration of encouragement. She is a timeless example of virtue, commitment and compassion. She is a picture of womanhood that reflects qualities which every believing woman should strive for in her personal life, in her family life, and in her missionary life.
The Proverbs woman is very hard to find, her value is more than a rare gem. She has inner beauty and strength of character and moral firmness that is lacking in the vast majority of women,(see Proverbs 31:10).
She is consistent in her commitment, to her family. Her husband and children can count on her. She is not up and down, good one day bad the next. She uses her strength and moral character to be a blessing to her family and community each and everyday, five days from now, one year from now, ten years from now, and all the days of her life. Her godliness is marked with commitment and consistency.
A woman of compassion and commitment works day and night with amazing diligence and fortitude caring for her family. (see Proverbs 31:15)Some women are up late at night pursuing questionable activities, but then they sleep through half the day. However a godly woman is diligent both day and night, and is able to get the necessary sleep, without overindulging in sleep.

The Proverb woman has compassion for the poor and needy and shows her compassion with actions of mercy. She shows love to the poor, not in words but by her deeds and in truth (see 1 John 3:16-18). We are encouraged to plead the cause of the poor (see Proverbs 31:9). In Proverbs 14:21 a benediction is pronounced upon those who show compassion to the poor and help them.
As God’s special people adorn the doctrine of God our Savior by zealously and fervently seeking to please Him in all we do, the Christian women of St Rest Missionary Baptist Church are a shining example of the Proverbs’ woman. We pray for their continued strength.
