Proverbs 31: Characteristics of a Godly Woman
This was probably expected at some point; after all, every woman looks to Proverbs 31 at various points in their life for guidance and to be reminded of the values God wants us to live out. What I like most about it is that it isn’t just about women but men too. I will agree…
