And so we the church. This is kind of a description of what the church should lead us not the individual woman can be. And so as we strive with this in mind, to be all that we could be for Christ is virtuous wife I want to read this to you from that perspective. As you listen. Just think about it as I share with you. Proverbs 31. From the standpoint of is this is the bride of Christ, so who can find a virtuous wife for her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband. That would be Jesus safely trusts her, that would be good when so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She seeks wool and flax, and willingly works with her hands. She is like the merchant ships, she brings her food from afar. She also rises well is yet night, and provides food for her household like the milk of the word.

We can talk about that for last week and a portion of her maidservants. She considers a field and buys it from her profits she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength and strength in her and strengthens her arms. She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night. She stretches out her hand so that the staff in her hands hold the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor.

Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

She's not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is clothed with scarlet. She makes tapestry for herself. Her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders and the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for merchants.

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

She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.

She watches over the ways of her household does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also. He praises her many daughters have done well, but you excel them all charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates. How that's a church I wanted her to have met you at some to wonder about today Bible wonders
