The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. \\xa0 In today\\u2019s Wisdom Nugget, I will guide you through the vast landscapes of biblical wisdom. Today, we\\u2019ll be exploring the final portion of Proverbs, which covers Proverbs 31:10-31 from the New Living Translation. In these verses, we encounter the noble virtues of an excellent wife, as King Lemuel\\u2019s mother described. Let\\u2019s embark on our journey through the beautiful portrayal of an excellent wife in Proverbs 31. Verse 10: \\u201cWho can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.\\u201d This verse sets the stage for describing a woman of great worth and character. What qualities define this virtuous wife? Priceless Virtue: A virtuous wife possesses immeasurable worth, surpassing the value of precious gems. Her character and integrity are her most valuable assets. Now, let\\u2019s explore verses 11-12. \\u201cHer husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.\\u201d These verses highlight the trustworthiness and positive impact of the virtuous wife on her husband\\u2019s life. What role does trust play in the relationship between a husband and wife? Trust and Enrichment: The virtuous wife is a faithful and reliable companion, enriching her husband\\u2019s life with her presence and actions.

She demonstrates diligence, foresight, and hard work in managing her household and pursuing profitable ventures. Finally, let\\u2019s examine verses 20-31. \\u201cShe extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. She has no fear of winter for her household, for everyone has warm clothes.
