! This study will be slightly different than the last few studies. We are going to do a chapter study. The principles we learn in this study can be applied to any passage or chapter of the Bible. We are going to break down the chapter into little parts and then we are going to put it back together again. ! Every woman should have the goal of being a Virtuous Woman. She is the example of moral excellence in character, personality, love, and diligence. Because a Virtuous Woman is hard to find, she stands out (Proverbs 31:10). God devotes almost an entire chapter to the description of the Virtuous Woman. The Virtuous Woman is what every father desires in his daughter and every man desires in a wife. She will bring honor to her husband, glory to her father, and a good name to herself.

• Read Proverb 12:4. What is the virtuous woman to her husband? • What does a crown indicate?

!! In a chapter study you will read the chapter or passage 10 times. We will assign a page for each part of the study. This is going to be fun and in the process you will get to learn and new and exciting way to study the bible that you can continue on your own. Now take a moment to review our text, Proverbs 31:10-31

10. Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.11. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.12. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.13. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.14. She is like the merchants 'ships; she bringeth her food from afar.15. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.16. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.17. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.18. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.19. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.20. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.21. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.22. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.23. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.24. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.25. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.26. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.27. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.28. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.29. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.30. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.31. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

I & II Kings, I & II Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther✴Reflective:

Dispensations✦Definition: Period of time in which man was given a specific revelation from God and because of that He had a specific responsibility before God.✦Lists of Dispensations:✓ Innocence (Creation-Fall of Man)= In creation they were not righteous, they were innocent.✓ Conscience (Fall of Man-Flood)= God communicated with man. (i.e. Cain and Abel)✓ Human Government (Flood-Call of Abraham)= This is where God instituted capital punishment.✓ Promise (Call of Abraham-Law on Mt. Sinai)✓ Law (Law on Mt. Sinai-Resurrection)✓ New Covenant (Resurrection-Rapture)= Grace, Church, Holy Spirit✓ Kingdom (Rapture-Great White Throne Judgment)

✦ A dispensational approach will keep you straight in the Bible.✦ There is a big problem: It seems people get saved by a different way in every dispensation! Everyone got saved the same way but they did not always believe in the same thing.✦The WAY they got saved:

๏ By Grace๏ Through Faith๏ Believe in God’s Word๏ Accept His Grace๏ Basis of the Cross

✦The Belief:๏ Day of the Law- Shedding of the blood of Christ one day.๏ Day of Grace- Christ’s shed blood

✦The look of faith is no backwards and was not forwards, it is up.
