Who can find a virtuous woman?

“Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.” Proverbs 31:28

I would like to wish all mothers everywhere a very happy Mothers Day! There is nothing on earth more valuable to a child than their mother. When I was growing up it was my mother who was what most call today “a stay home mom” and cared for her children. My mother had eight children and six were boys and I must add not so easy to handle boys either, but by the grace of God she raised all eight of her children. And beloved I would like for you to know she was and is a blessing to all of us and today and we all call her blessed not just today or just once a year but everyday. My mother was not just a “stay at home mom” but she was a mother to her children and made every attempt to be a wonderful wife to her husband because this is what virtuous women do in this life. A virtuous woman is one who serves this life as the Lord our God has commanded her to and that is to be a help mate to her husband, one that cares for her children, and one who makes sure the house is kept for the family. It is the husband’s job to financially support the family not the wife’s. 1 Timothy 5:8 “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
The bible asks a question I would also like to ask, “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” Proverbs 31:10. Where are they? Where is the woman that is serving the role that the Lord made her for? Who is tending to the children if not her? Beloved we have gotten so money hungry today, that it has caused mothers to find a career rather than tending to, and raising their children. Any woman who has children at home and has a career it NOT a virtuous woman. I know this will offend a lot of people but the word of God offends every sinner. Let’s not forget what the Lord continues to say in Proverbs 31:10 “for her price is far above rubies” The Lord goes on to say in Proverbs 3:15 “She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.” There is nothing on earth more precious to a man and the children than a virtuous woman. To put it in terms we will understand today “she is worth more than gold”. Why? Why is so hard to find and why is she so precious? Beloved it is because there are so few of her. Women today think it is most offensive when a woman cares more about her husband and her children than she does about running a company, or running the world, but the Lord says different, He says she is rare and worth more than anything on earth.
We often wonder why children are so bad in our day; well it is because they have no mother at home. Beloved God did not give us children for someone else to raise, it is the mothers job and if she fails then the children will also fail. This is exactly why children are at the mall instead of at home doing chores and homework. This is why so many children kill others or their self, they have no care at home, however on mother’s day she wonders why they are not calling her blessed. Mothers are supposed to discipliners not best friends to their children. A boss at work does not have the same respect form his employs if he is their good friend as he does if he keeps a distance from his employs. Neither does a mother who become a good friend with her children rather than one who rules them. There is nothing more precious than a woman who serves the Lord well.
