Woman of Valor

The words woman of valor came to me as I was walking. My vocabulary has expanded through the years, but valor is one word I don’t frequently hear. When I hear a word that I don’t use much in my everyday life I perf up to it because God is speaking to me. I pay attention because the word may be for myself or for others and it needs more investigation.

I didn’t know the meaning of valor, so I looked it up.

Valor = strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness, personal bravery, courage.

If you’ve been with me for long you know that I enjoy digging into word meanings and then into scripture for more context to apply to our real lives. My investigation led to finding the actual word valor is rarely used in most translations, instead virtuous is more common. You can find it by searching Proverbs 31:10.

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. Proverbs 31:10 NLT

Who can find an aishes chayil (a woman of valor, an excellent wife Prov 12:4)? For her worth is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10 OJB (Orthodox Jewish Bible)

A woman of valor as described in the Amplified translation is one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous. This woman is even more as we can pick up the many descriptions of the excellent woman from Proverbs 31:10-31.

Describing a Woman of Valor:

• Trustworthy
• Encouraging
• Works diligently
• Strong
• Well-prepared
• Generous
• Brave
• Resourceful
• Wise
• Well-thought-of
• Fears the Lord

The question on the table is …. Are you being a woman of valor?

We need to be role models and examples to other women to show how we live and survive this complicated world.

Take time and do a self-inventory to take stock in what adjectives describe you and how you live.

Be brave and courageous be a woman of valor.
