September 4 - Trustworthiness.

Proverbs 31:11
“The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.”
 
This verse begins a long list of the exemplary characteristics of a virtuous woman.
 
There are many traits that a woman must possess in order to be called virtuous or full of strength.
 
Throughout the Bible, we see time and time again the importance of that which is first. We can find numerous lists in the Scriptures, and there is always a reason for whatever is listed first. With this in mind, we should pay special attention to the first Truth listed about this Virtuous Woman.
 
Trust.
Her husband safely trusts her as his help meet.
He trusts her with all of his heart.
 
A virtuous woman must be a woman that can be trusted.
If we are not trustworthy, we are not virtuous.
 
Whether you have an earthly husband or, if you are single, Christ is your husband, trust is the most important quality a woman can possess.
 
Trustworthiness is more than when we think someone is watching.
God is always watching.
 
Proverbs 15:3
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”
 
Only when it is evident that our trust is in the Lord can we truly be considered trustworthy.
 
Psalm 26:1
“Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.”
