Proverbs 31:10-20
King Lemuel relays the wisdom that his mother found in her relationship with God. She believed that a wife of noble character is worthy of love and respect, at all times. She is more valuable than money or any other natural resource. Such a virtuous woman is a good steward and an example to many. Any spouse who is faithful in love and hard work is a blessing to many people. The principles of good stewardship make a pleasant life possible when applied by God-fearing people. This includes courageous generosity for the poor among us.
