THE GODLY WIFE HAS BUSINESS ACUMEN

#VirtuousWomanSeries

"She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard."
Proverbs  31:16

The godly wife we're talking about has enough business acumen to EVALUATE a field (business prospect) and form an independent opinion of the viability of that investment. A wise investor knows that evaluations are not done in isolation, so obviously she needs to consult others, including her husband. However, she doesn't behave like an infant who needs 'daddy' to tell her which prospects to engage in. I struggle with the cases where a woman says her husband didn't allow her work. In my opinion, if you meet a career/business single woman, don't try to domesticate her using "submission" as a weapon. If she, after reviewing the prevailing situation, chooses to be a stay-at-home wife/mother, good...Even in such instances, it's wise for her to engage in some form of business...

The godly wife has money to buy a field...We are not told that she collected money from her husband to buy the field (not that he didn't have his own money either)....The verse emphasizes that it is with the fruit of her hands that she plants a vineyard. It is not the fruit of another person's hands...she is not waiting for another human being to be her human ATM....She is productive...

I was speaking with one of my in-laws and she told me that while growing up, her ambition was to get married and let her husband take care of her...Events that I can't share here cured her of that mindset...


I spoke with a widow today after a long time of not hearing from her. Her husband was a good man, loving husband/father and great provider. However, she wasn't financially independent. His death was sudden and shocking, I don't believe I have fully recovered either. In a day, she went from pampered wife to nearly homeless widow. Thank God for His grace and mercy; He still came through. I hope at least one person learns from her experience...

A woman that becomes unbearable when she has money, most often than not, was unbearable without money. The problem is her mindset, not the money...Focusing on the money will not solve the problem, she'll find other ways to manifest what is in her...

Enjoy your day.
