The Word 25/12/06: God’s Girls: Hidden Treasures Waiting to be Discovered

Proverbs 31:10
“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” (NIV)

Proverbs 31:10-31 is famous for being the description of the women of God. I believe you’ve read the above verse many times before. But now, take your time and read it again. This time more slowly and let each word sink into your heart.

Beauty That Last

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”

Isn’t it interesting that God never mention anything about our outer appearance throughout Proverbs 31? He never mentions if we are young or old, fat or skinny, tall or short, what we are wearing, how we look, or if we have pimples or not. He is far more interested in our character than anything else. We find our worth on the inside of our hearts. “Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.” Proverbs 31:30 (NLT)

Only for the Single Girls

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.”

The battle of the sexes is not about us, girls, finding the men. But it is about us being found by men. Just like God brought Eve to Adam (Genesis 2:22), God knows how to bring you to the right man. So stop looking for a man. Your biological clock is not ticking. God knows how to get you found. He has the right timing and the right man for you. God has given girls the privilege to be found.

Proverbs 18:22
“He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the Lord.” (NIV)

Hidden Treasure

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” (NIV)
“A good woman who can find, and worth far more than diamonds.” (MSG)
“A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman – who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.” (AMP)

Rubies, diamonds and pearls… they are all precious jewels. You’ve got to dig for them. You’ve got to search them until you find them. God has equipped you with dreams, passion and talents. Don’t ever stop of searching the gifts God’s has given you. Do not stop seeking His will for your life because in you is a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.
