PROVERBS 31:10 "AN EXCELENT WIFE, WHO CAN FIND?.
Yes, I believe this woman exists, but we cannot find her on our own.WE MUST GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
Matthew 7: 7-8 To find her we must seek God first through prayer.
1. Ask and it shall be given to you.
2. Seek and you will find.
3. Knock and it shall be opened to you
For everyone who asks recieves, and he who seeks finds and to him who knocks it shall be opened.
Every promise of God is a YES, if the word say so it is true, but we must be willing to do the work before we can recieve the blessings. Put your faith in action.

And you wont find her at the beauty shop or manicure place... she's too busy! Look for the lady who is spends most of her time praying and serving others. You have to look with your spirit, not your eyes. Your eyes will deceive you.

I believe that there are many women in the world, who do, or have done virtuous deeds, but only a few women of true biblical excellence as described in Proverbs 31:10-31.
Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
This is due to what I will call the "EVE Syndrome", that nearly all women suffer from. The desire to be as God, in a position of superior power and control.
Ever since Satan was able to convince woman that God was lying, to keep her from discovering her true "God-like nature", she has been struggling with the issue of who and what she was originally designed to be.
Being "first in the transgression", she took on the full brunt of the deception, which fatally weakened her ability to rerceive, believe, accept, and obey the words of God.
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being
heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not
hindered. 1 Peter 3:7
Thus, she is under the apostles ban from teaching and exercising authority over the man. This ban is still recognized in many parts of the secular world today.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the
man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue
in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1 Timothy 2:11-15
As part of her rehabilitative correction, God placed the woman under the authority of her husband, for the purpose of redeeming and reconciling her back into her originally designed purposes of marriage.
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. Genesis 3: 16
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head
of the church: and he is the savior of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be
to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church,
and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having
spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5: 23-33
Now,through the atonement of Christ, every woman who was been led to repentance, now has the full power to become a woman of excellence in God, if she so chooses
to be.
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality
and power: Colossians 2:9-10
The ability to become a woman of excellence, now lies in a woman's willingness to die to the delusions of self grandeur, in order to please Father. Thus the question still remains: Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
I am still seeking, praying, hoping, waiting, and watching for her hour of visitation into my life.
