Embracing the Virtue: A Journey to Becoming a Proverbs 31 WifeNäide

Day 3: Wisdom in Financial Stewardship

Scripture: Proverbs 31:16-18 (NIV)
“She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.”

Financial stewardship is another critical aspect of being a Proverbs 31 wife. These verses illustrate a woman who actively engages in financial decisions that benefit her family’s future—she invests wisely and works diligently to ensure profitability. In modern terms, this could involve budgeting effectively, saving for future needs, or even exploring entrepreneurial opportunities that align with one’s skills and passions.

Furthermore, the mention of strength signifies resilience in facing challenges related to finances or investments. It encourages wives to educate themselves about financial literacy so they can contribute meaningfully to discussions about money management within their households. As you reflect on these verses today, consider how you can enhance your understanding of financial matters—perhaps by reading books on budgeting or attending workshops focused on financial planning.
