Bible Secrets Of A Successful Business Woman! (part 1)

Let's review a passage in the Bible known as "The Virtuous Woman". In Proverbs 31:10-31, this is a passage that spells out what many Bible teachers consider to be the characteristics of an ideal woman, or Christian wife. Usually, teachers from this passage concentrate primarily on the overtly spiritual characteristics of this woman.

What many people miss out on, however, is that this woman is a skilled business woman! She knows how to make a lot of money, and to use this money-making power to be a blessing to other people!

She Works Harder... and Smarter!

Proverbs 31:10

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

This word "virtuous" comes from the Hebrew word, "chayil", which means:

strength, might, army, wealth, efficiency

So along with having wonderful "spiritual" characteristics, this is a woman who also possesses many practical qualities important to becoming wealthy.

Check out that last word, "army". As we examine this passage verse by verse, a picture will begin to unfold that this one woman is so efficient, business savvy, and talented, that she literally has the capability to accomplish the work of many people! In other words this woman has the productivity of an entire "army" of people! :-)

Isn't it true that income, money, wealth, and riches tend to flow to individuals who are more productive, effective, and efficient in the business world?

Now as we examine the rest of this passage, we will begin to see that she actually "does" work hard... as well as smart. Quoting multi-millionaire Dan Pena, "no one can work 1,000 times harder than you, and no one can
be 1,000 times smarter than you, but there are people who make 1,000 more money than you".

Since we all have the same 24 hours each day, then, the key to creating wealth often lies in what we do with our time... which amounts to working "smarter", not just "harder"... just like the lady mentioned in Proverbs 31.

In the words of multi-millionaire car dealer Rhett Ricart: "The only difference between you and me (financially) is what we do with our time".

So stay tuned for the next part in this series, as I continue to discuss the qualities of The Bible's Secret Business Woman!
