The Topic of Deeper Life Daily Manna Devotional for 11th April 2025 Is “A Virtuous Life”

KEY VERSE: Proverbs 31:30

Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

TEXT: Proverbs 31:10-31 (KJV)

10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.

14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.

15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.

16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.

17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.

21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.

22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.

23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.

24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.

27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.

29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY

An African adage seeks to explain that a lady who could not attract a suitor after trying long must not blame bad luck but examine herself. It might not be due to her lack of physical attractiveness but because she is without good character, which she is deemed to have thrown away.

Good character makes a model woman, not physical beauty, wealth, educational attainment, or other attributes. Our passage is popularly cited as depicting the virtuous woman, a model wife or woman who is industrious, humble, generous, caring, modest, tolerant, God-fearing, and committed to building a family.

However, what is easily overlooked is that the woman was first a virtuous spinster and did not wait to acquire the attributes only after marriage. Moreover, these virtues are not hereditary. Virtuous parents could have raised her, and she deliberately chose to fear God and develop a godly character.

Every human being needs to choose what to be in life. The choice is between life (repenting of sins and accepting Christ’s offer of salvation) and death (continuing in sin and rejecting Christ’s offer of redemption leading to eternal perdition). Any woman could be a virtuous woman or wife, and by extension, any individual, irrespective of gender, marital or social status, age, and location, can be virtuous by choice.

Jesus Christ died to make a virtuous person out of every penitent sinner. Christian virtues cannot be obtained or retained outside the saving and sustaining grace of Jesus Christ. The Saviour calls us to glory, virtue, and righteousness so we can be like Him and spend eternity with Him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The real beauty is never captured with a selfie.
