Proverbs 31 gives hope and a challenge to any modern day Christian woman. For single men who are looking for an honorable wife, it is an idea of a godly woman.

What is a Proverbs 31 woman?

1. She is a loyal woman.

She is loyal to the Lord.

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

Proverbs 31:30

vs.

Being a lying woman.

"A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare."

Proverbs 21:6

Being an "easy" woman.

"Then out came a woman to meet him, dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent."

Proverbs 7:10

2. She is a knowledgeable woman.

She is knowledgeable when it comes to work.

"She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands"

Proverbs 31:13

vs

Being lazy.

"The desire of the lazy man kills him,For his hands refuse to labor."

Proverbs 21:25


She is helpful and a good mother.

"She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar."

Proverbs 31:14

"She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."

Proverbs 31:27

vs

"The wicked crave evil; their neighbors get no mercy from them."

Proverbs 21:10


Women are resourceful. Women should make smart choices and take our responsibilities seriously. God praises faithful and reliable women.

3. She is a talkative woman.

She is talkative, in the correct way.

"She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue."

Proverbs 31:26

vs

Being a liar.

"A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare."

Proverbs 21:6


Women should use words to not "gossip" or to make us a "busybody."

"And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying thing they ought not."

1 Timothy 5:13


Words should share the truth, not ignorance.

4. She is a caring woman. 

She cares about helping others.

"She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands for the needy."

Proverbs 31:20

vs

Being stuck up.

"Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered."

Proverbs 21:13


Women should not only care about their own family. Women should care and help everyone around us.

Pray more, criticize and judge less, and then we will see a difference.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.
