Far Above Rubies.

Far Above Rubies is a series on biblical womanhood: strength, dignity, wisdom and purpose, rooted in Scripture.

At its centre stands the virtuous woman of Proverbs 31. Her gentleness is not weakness. It is strength held under the hand of God. This is feminine strength: a quiet, steady power that builds a home, keeps a promise and speaks with wisdom rather than haste. Her worth is never settled by how she looks, but by what she is like when nobody is watching.

Feminine excellence is not perfection and it is not performance. It is a woman learning, day by day, to reflect her Creator in her speech, her conduct, her gentleness and her work. It is the excellence the world rarely notices and God never overlooks.
