Priceless womanhood

“…for her price is far more than rubies.” I have always wondered how much rubies are. What I know is rubies are jewels. It is a known fact that money is usually valued in relation to gold.  So when a Godly woman is priced above jewels it means she is very important. Women should just find it in their heart to be God-fearing.

A noble woman is worth much more than the rubies so it cannot be put on a scale to be measured. I shudder to think how much we are worth and how we handle ourselves. When you are a member of the royal family, there is a certain behavior that is expected of you. Anything less would bring disrepute to the family. As women – Godly women – there is a way we are to handle ourselves so that we do not degrade ourselves or bring disrepute to the name of our God.

Our deportment as mothers, wives, companions will bring happiness in the family. Knowledge of our domestic duties and doing them faithfully will bring a blissful aura. It is our duty to make sure the house is in clean, in order and the family is fed. These tasks may seem to be unimportant but they are very essential. Let us be responsible and do all that is expected of us – it goes a long way in brightening not only our lives but also of those around us. You might not necessarily be hands-on on doing these tasks, but make sure they are done.

It is easier for us to take on our responsibilities when we are in touch with God. Religion helps children to live a higher quality life and to do more faithful work. A little girl of twelve was telling, in a simple way, that she was a Christian. “I did not like to study, but to play. I was idle at school and often missed my lessons. Now I learn every lesson well, to please God. I was mischievous at school, when the teachers were not looking at me, making fun for the children to look at. Now I wish to please God by behaving well and keeping the school laws. I was selfish at home, didn't like to run errands, and was sulky when mother called me from play to help her in work. Now it is a real joy for me to help mother in any way and to show that I love her.”

Only those that are Godly are priceless.
