A good woman’s Bible verses are enormous in the scripture. A good woman is easily identified according to the Christlike attributes and characteristics she possesses.
She’s a godly mother, loves her husband and cares for her kids. She loves God and contributes to the growth of her family. She wears prayers as her armour and depends on the powers and direction of God. She’s a woman of faith.
Her beauty steams from inside, she’s purposeful and seeks her bread from afar, she’s adventurous and resourceful, her children call her blessed and her husband is honoured because of her virtues.
Such a woman is a blessing to her family, church, community and those that come in contact with her in her career path. She’s a good ambassador of Jesus Christ and her family. A good woman is captured in Proverbs 31.
