Today we will discuss what the Bible teaches about a wise woman. The Bible gives us enough information on this subject that helps us recognize a wise woman. A wise woman thinks not only about herself but also about her family and her community.
A wise woman will be one who is prudent and courageous. She will always protect her family and put herself forward for all the needs of the family. She will get up early in the morning to prepare food for her husband and think about her children.
When we read the Bible, we see many women whom we can address as wise women. A wise woman will help a family to run well and through her, her children will also be steadfast in the way of the Lord.
