Today I met with Ruth and a new friend, Amy, for bible study. The topic was the wife of noble character which was taken out of Proverbs 31.

And here are the main points of what an ideal woman should be like:

• brings her husbands goods


• works diligently from early morning till late at night


• provides for her family and the poors and needys


• has strength and dignity


• carefree


• speaks with wisdom


• watches the affair of the household


• and most importantly ,

"30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. "

As a result of these noble characters, this woman is ...

• worth more than rubies


• her husband is pround of her

Having said all these wonderful qualities, how can we get them??

As Verse 30 points out, to fear the lord will bring out all this wonderful qualities because god has the power to change them. Thank god~

How promising is God's words! I think because I am not pretty, I thought I could never be the "ideal woman" but now, the lord actually looks more of the interanl characters. Those who place God in the first place is the most ideal woman. I will work toward that from today on.
