Wisdom

The fear of the Lord is he beginning of wisdom. The excellent wife, this woman of noble character, that I have been studying these last few weeks is wise. She fears the Lord. She understands her place in front of the Lord. She understands her limitations and His attributes. She knows who she is and she knows who He is. Without a right relationship with God, without a right picture of who God is, all that she does is worthless. Pursuing a right relationship with God keeps her other relationships in line. This is the kind of woman I want to be.

Loving Instruction

The excellent wife is a teacher. She may not have a classroom or students, but she is a teacher. She is not to be bothered with foolishness. She speaks wisdom. She wants the words she speaks to make those around her become better people. She wants those around her to become more like Christ. She knows that is what is important and she doesn't want to waste her time on other things.
