Proverbs 31:25 (NIV): “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come”.

Proverbs 31 is our biblical role model of womanhood. A woman on a mission. One we can be inspired by. She is a woman who is not confined to one particular role but who demonstrates the capacity to live a life filled with purpose.

You may find it discouraging to compare yourself to a woman with such noble characteristics. Don’t be. The most important trait of the virtuous woman is her unwavering relationship with God—not her job title, marital status or social klout. Yes, she is called to do amazing things, to be strong and courageous, to be loving and generous, to be confident and full of wisdom, but above all else, she is called to an intimate relationship with Christ.

This virtuous woman represents a woman of power and capacity—a force to be reckoned with. A woman who has dignity, integrity and high moral standards in how she chooses to live her life. Who wouldn’t want to be that woman?

Strength and honor are her clothing

Proverbs 31:25 opens with, “Strength and honor are her clothing.” The picture is of a woman so wrapped in godly character that virtue is what you notice first, the way you notice someone’s outfit when they walk into a room. Bible Hub

Now, you’re probably thinking how can we as modern-day women relate to her with our diverse lifestyles. Her characteristics are still very much applicable regardless of which season in life you find yourself. Some of us are pursuing our passions, building a business, others are starting a family or waiting to hear from God for our next steps.

true beauty is not skin-deep; it is the outworking of an obedient heart clothed in virtues that reflect Christ. Bible Hub
