A Businesswoman of Influence
(Proverbs 31:10-31)
Proverbs 31 no doubt gets more airtime on Mother’s Day than any other passage of scripture. The majority of the proverb describes a virtuous woman who leads her home and business with integrity, discipline, and giftedness. This wife and mother is a leader not because she tries to be one, but because of whom she is.
