The woman described in Proverbs 31 is a woman who has been able to achieve balance in her life. She fears the Lord and from that strong foundation then, she has been able to balance out her life in such an impressive way.
When it comes to her marriage, she respects her husband and does him good all the days of her life.
Proverbs 31:11-12
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.
Her marriage is important and her husband is respected at the city gates.
Her home life is also thriving. He children are well taught and the needs of her home are catered for. Though she has maidservants, she serves them to ensure they are well fed. Verse 28 says that her children rise up and call her blessed.
This woman is also business savvy, and a hard worker;
Proverbs 31:
She considers a field and buys it; from [e]her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength, and strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out by night.
Because the Lord is her foundation, she is a woman who is filled with wisdom and godly instruction;
Proverbs 31:26
She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
Another thing about her is that she cares for people and is willing to share what she has with the less fortunate to improve the standard of their life.
Proverbs 31:20
She extends her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
Though she takes good care of those around her, she does not neglect herself, her beauty is from the inside out and she is greatly honored in her home and her community.
Proverbs 31:22-25
She makes tapestry for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in time to come.
Sounds like a fairy tale to have all these positive attributes in one person right? Well, remember that what is impossible with man is possible with God and with God as her foundation then she is able to become this virtuous woman.
