In addition to the above, virtuous women carry a financial discipline and independence as seen above. This includes an acuity in business, in other words, they are wealth makers. PROVERBS 18:22 says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD.” And chapter 10:22 speaks of God’s blessing saying, “It makes one rich, and does not come with sorrow.” v. Confession 2 KINGS 4:25-37 tells us of a Shunammite woman who had lost her son, but when asked by Gehazi about everything, her response was, “It is well” [verse 26], and in verse 28 she expressed to prophet Elisha what had happened, without uttering a negative confession (death). Virtuous women neither wail over situations, nor do they seek the world’s compassion, for they carry the strength to overcome challenges. PROVERBS 31:25 says, “she laughs without fear of the future.” vi. Cooking All virtuous women know how to cook. PROVERBS 31:15 says, “She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household.” My mother as a virtuous woman is the best person I know at cooking. This does not mean that they can prepare all dishes, but at least they can prepare something delicious for their household. Page | 28
