View Profile History	God fearing Posted : 11 Feb, 2010 07:29 AM dear music, maybe this will help some.. its from my bible study guide.. ole cattle proverbs 31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. That which completes and crowns her character is that she fears the Lord, v. 30. With all those good qualities she lacks not that one thing needful; she is truly pious, and, in all she does, is guided and governed by principles of conscience and a regard to God; this is that which is here preferred far before beauty; that is vain and deceitful; all that are wise and good account it so, and value neither themselves nor others on it. Beauty recommends none to God, nor is it any certain indication of wisdom and goodness, but it has deceived many a man who has made his choice of a wife by it. There may be an impure deformed soul lodged in a comely and beautiful body; nay, many have been exposed by their beauty to such temptations as have been the ruin of their virtue, their honour, and their precious souls. It is a fading thing at the best, and therefore vain and deceitful. A fit of sickness will stain and sully it in a little time; a thousand accidents may blast this flower in its prime; old age will certainly wither it and death and the grave consume it. But the fear of God reigning in the heart is the beauty of the soul; it recommends those that have it to the favour of God, and is, in his sight, of great price; it will last for ever, and bid defiance to death itself, which consumes the beauty of the body, but consummates the beauty of the soul.

It says it all. Christian women love it when a man "gets it" . Your insight is very refreshing. Kentucky Post Reply

View Profile History	God fearing Posted : 11 Feb, 2010 08:34 PM Cattle.... THAT was AMAZING!!! Thanks for that For so long I have tried to put what is in my head into words just as that. One of the other things that was mentioned by my minister is that which is actually in Proverbs 31, but is located in the verses BEFORE the actual definition of a Proverbs 31 woman in 10-31. And strangely enough, there is always very little mention of it by people. But in so many ways, I think it's actually MORE profound, and shows the very danger when a man makes the mistake to get with the wrong type woman who is more vanity based than God fearing.... It has stuck with me like glue. And while I can be thankful that Christian women might like it when a Christian man "gets it".... I think the same can be said for Christian men who appreciate when a Christian woman 'gets it' as well.....LOL Because.... some just clearly don't. And the effects of it can be somewhat devastating... especially in households. "O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, 3 do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings. This speaks more than just about being with a woman who is a 'harlot'. It is about being with certain women who try to play "King" and undermine a man at every turn brought on by her vanity and unwillingness to be God fearing..... There is a word for it.... but... you know.... can't exactly say it in these here parts.... LOL It's interesting to also note that the word "wisdom" is often referred in the feminine form through out a lot of Proverbs.... example.... Proverbs 1 20-21 Wisdom calls aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the public squares; 21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, in the gateways of the city she makes her speech So... a woman who is God fearing is actually the wisest one to be with.... Thanks again Cattle... that was brilliant Post Reply
