“Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.” – Proverbs 31:10
In ancient times and even in some cultures today. A daughter brought honor and wealth to her family through marriage.
But let me ask you, when in Scripture did a woman ever leave her house to search for a husband? When did she obsess over outer beauty?
They were all busy managing their homes, tending their flocks, building character, growing in wisdom. They knew something we all have forgotten that dignity, values, and virtue increase our worth far more than appearance ever will.
Because here’s the truth: Our outer beauty won’t raise our children. Fake lashes won’t help us through storms. Surgery and brands won’t hold our marriage together. But character? That’s what makes a woman a crown to her husband.
The Bible says, “An excellent wife is a crown, not because of beauty, but because of her virtue.”
So why are women today so consumed with outward beauty, trying to meet the world’s standards, chasing validation, thinking looks equal worth? Fake lashes, nails, luxury brands, surgery and all of that is outside. What about building character? That’s what’s worth more than rubies.
Rubies are among the most expensive gems on earth, yet God says a virtuous woman is worth even more.
Every time we seek validation from the world, we lower what God has already called priceless.
Remember this, God’s final creation was a woman. And when He finished, He said, ‘It is very good.’”
