The Virtuous Wife

10 Who can find a virtuous wife?

For her worth is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;

So he will have no lack of gain.

12 She does him good and not evil

All the days of her life.

13 She seeks wool and flax,

And willingly works with her hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

She brings her food from afar.

15 She also rises while it is yet night,

And provides food for her household,

And a portion for her maidservants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

From her profits she plants a vineyard.

17 She girds herself with strength,

And strengthens her arms.

18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,

And her lamp does not go out by night.

19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,

And her hand holds the spindle.

20 She extends her hand to the poor,

Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,

For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

22 She makes tapestry for herself;

Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates,

When he sits among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

And supplies sashes for the merchants.

25 Strength and honor are her clothing;

She shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,

And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She watches over the ways of her household,

And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;

Her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many daughters have done well,

But you excel them all.”

30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,

But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,

And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Just in case there are any mothers hear today or listening on facebook, who feel under appreciated, like her kids don’t appreciate her and her husband doesn’t appreciate all the things she does, I want you take a look at a woman who’s husband didn’t even love her, her husband was actually in love with her sister

Leah, The Wife Of Jacob. Was in an unfulfilling marriage

Leah is a significant figure in the Bible, known as the eldest daughter of Laban and the first wife of Jacob. She is the sister of Rachel, Jacob's favored wife, and the mother of seven of Jacob's children, including Reuben, Simeon, and Levi. Leah's story is primarily found in the Book of Genesis, where she is depicted as a woman who faced challenges and struggles, particularly in her relationship with Jacob, who loved Rachel more. Despite her hardships, Leah's legacy continues through her children, who became the founders of several tribes of Israel.   Her marriage was not ideal, but God used it for His glory

Although Leah was in a loveless marriage, her son Reuben was evidence to her that “the Lord sees”, Simeon means “the Lord hears”, and Levi that the Lord might create a “bond” between her and Jacob.

her fourth son, Judah, meaning praise. Leah was content to praise the Lord for the blessings in her life, even if her husband was not her own

Unloved and unwanted, Leah was not only blessed by God with six sons and one daughter. One of those sons was Judah who was listed in Matthew 1 in the genealogy of King David, King Solomon, and the King of Kings Jesus Christ.

Leah is a matriarch of her people and of Christ.  She may not have been Jacob’s choice, but she was chosen by God to play a role in the birth of Savior of the world.

Leah Is Honored

While Leah and Rachel competed for Jacob’s attention, Leah is honored in her death as the first wife of Jacob.

In Genesis 49:29-33, we learn that Leah is buried in a cave with Jacob’s parents (Rebekah and Isaac) and grandparents (Sarah and Abraham).

In these verses, Jacob requests for his body to be laid there also. Rachel died giving birth to her second son, Benjamin and was buried on the side of the road leading to Bethlehem (Genesis 35:16-20).

Deborah:

8 other Prophetess

The New King James Version Chapter 4

she sent and called for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, ‘Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun; 7 and against you I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand’?”

8 And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!”

9 So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh
