Are You a Woman of Virtue?
“Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies.”
Proverbs 31:10

Ponder This
A diamond catches and reflects light, but a ruby has an inner glow. The beauty of a ruby is on the inside. And that’s what God is talking about when He speaks of the value of a virtuous wife. Look at Proverbs 31:30, and you'll see what He’s talking about: “Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.” Now there’s nothing wrong with beauty, but virtue far exceeds beauty. The word virtue here really means moral strength. The Bible says that because of her moral strength, her husband can trust her. Proverbs 31:11 says, “The heart of her husband safely trusts her.” What does that mean? It means she’s going to be honest, she’s going to be wise, she’s going to be loyal, and she’s going to be prudent.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
