Meeting 1 (recap): Defining Virtuous
The first meeting was mostly about getting to know one another. We will have deeper studies to come soon!
Scripture:
Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.We are focusing on the first part of this verse. As an opening to this group, we want to define virtuous and how we, as women, can serve the Lord as mothers and wives.
Discussion questions:
1.What does Virtuous mean?By definition, virtuous means: having or showing high moral standards.
In Biblical context, virtuous means strength
So the verse translates: Who can find a woman of strength.
We discussed how virtue is something earned, that we must actively seek, not something given to us by God. This is why Proverbs 31:10-30 is a poem a mother writes for her son describing what kind of woman he must seek for his wife.
