"Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain...BUT a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." (Pro-Verbs 31:30)
The natural way to go for this Pro-Verb would to write about the Pro-Verbs 31 woman...found in Pro-Verbs 31:10-31...but I chose for this time around to focus on one verse...Pro-Verbs 31:30.
CHARM/FAVOR: (1) graciousness (2) kindness (3) favor (4) pleasant (5) precious
DECEITFUL: (1) an untruth (2) a sham (3) without a cause (4) false (5) vain
BEAUTY: (1) to be bright (2) to be beautiful (3) fair
VAIN: (1) emptiness (2) something transitory and unsatisfactory (3) to lead astray
This is the capstone for all that is good about the excellent wife. In a world that is obsessed with beauty...loses sight of the inner beauty. This does not mean that you have to be ugly and charmless to be an excellent wife and woman...BUT...comparatively speaking...it is NOT what is on the outside...it is what is on the inside that counts.
FEARS: (1) morally reverent (2) afraid (3) fearful
LORD: (1) Jehovah (2) self-existent (3) eternal (4) national name of God
The old saying is..."you can't tell a book by it's cover." Charm is DECEITFUL...and beauty is VAIN...BUT ...a woman who FEARS THE LORD...she shall be PRAISED.
Well...there ya go...the root of what makes a Pro-Verbs 31 woman/wife. It is NOT her doing...that is only the outward expression of her true inward quality. Of course...with my wife, Brenda...I am blessed with both...inner and outward beauty and charm.
Love and Charming Kisses
