How beautifully the Bible describes wise women! Especially when reading the book of Proverbs, it seems as if a picture has been painted. Not only is a wise woman intelligent, but a wise woman is one who follows God’s teachings every day.
Do you know how precious God considers the wisdom of women? He believes that wise women play a very important role in His plan. They show the world what God’s love and truth are through their actions and words.
The Bible contains many stories of wise women who made big changes. Listen to Deborah’s words – with what courage and faith she led! And remember Esther? How she saved her people with her wisdom and courage!
From the lives of these women, we can learn that wisdom is not just in books, it is for everyday life. It helps us make good decisions at home, at work, with friends. A wise woman brings peace and happiness to the lives of those around her.
Increasing wisdom is very important for Christian women today. This means spending time in prayer, reading the Bible. But remember, wisdom is not just about knowing more—it is about being more like Jesus in our thoughts and actions.
When a woman lives with wisdom, she influences the lives of many people. Her family is strengthened, the people around her are benefited. She shows others through her life how good God is. Such wisdom is like a gift—the more you give, the more it grows, and the more lives it touches.
God wants all women to seek His wisdom. He has promised to give it to those who ask. By following His path, women can have a fulfilling and joyful life, and can make a real difference in the world.
So friends, let us remember these teachings. Let us pray to God to fill us with His wisdom. And with that wisdom, we can bless others, and glorify God in all that we do.
Now let us look at some verses in the Bible that talk about wise women. These verses can be very inspiring in our lives.
