What Does a Beautiful Mother Look Like?
Sometimes people measure beauty by the way that a lady looks on the outside. According to Huffington Post and Ask.com, women collectively spend $426 billion on beauty products each year! The writer of Proverbs cautions us “Favor is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that fears the LORD, she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:30).
Truly there is a beauty that far surpasses the physical appearance of a Godly lady. While it is not possible to do much with the looks with which we are born, there is a beauty that can be chosen. Such beauty is described in Proverbs 31:10-31. Here are the characteristics of the beautiful Godly lady:
1. She lives in such a way that she builds beautiful trust in the heart of her husband (31:11).
2. She lives in such a way that she builds companionship with her husband (31:12).
3. She lives in such a way that she takes the initiative in caring for the details of her home and family (31:13-24).
4. She lives in such a way that she demonstrates strength and kindness in her actions and communication (31:25-27).
5. She lives in such a way that she is praiseworthy and her children as well as her husband have plenty for which to be thankful (31:28).
6. She lives in such a way that her fear of the Lord grows in her personal life (31:29-30).
7. She lives in such a way that her testimony is clearly seen by those outside her home (31:31).
