Our Scripture reading today is Proverbs 31:10, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies."
These are the words of a mother to her son. She is preparing him for what to look for in a wife. They are also words to ladies in what qualities they should strive for in preparation for living their life to please God. A woman should desire to be virtuous whether she is married or not.
After our salvation, the most important decision we will make is who we will marry. The choice made is not a matter of the outward but more importantly it should be based on the inward character qualities. Like all decisions, we should seek the Lord in prayer for wisdom in choosing the right mate.
