In writing a devotional on the Proverbs 31 woman I wanted to outline each verse with a corresponding attribute. However, I couldn’t fit all them into the devo, thus I wanted to share them here. As a result, if you simply read all the attributes with their verses you will have read the entire passage of Proverbs 31:11-31. I hope you enjoy it and pray by God’s grace every woman will live according to these precious words.
