AN EXCELLENT WOMAN

Scriptures

Proverbs 31:10-  Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

Proverbs 12:4 -  A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

Ruth 3:11 - And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do for thee all that thou requirest, for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.

Other words for virtuous :  Excellent, Worthy, Strong, Capable

We have discussed being virtuous, but let's explore the concept of excellece.  The definition for excellence is :  Superior, First Class, Eminently Good, Very good of it's kind

Do you strive to be an excellent woman?  What is your definition of her?  The world's meaning often includes things such as how you look, the job you have and what it pays, the type of house you live in, and other superficial things.  We are often too concerned about measuring up to others in society.

How does God define excellence for women?  Do we examine ourselves to see how we measure up to his expectations?  We are to be above the norm......differing through our virtues.  Reflect on this and think of ways in which you feel you excel at and the areas in which you need to improve.
