Proverbs 31 woman vs how we are to live as men

God calls us as men to pursue godly Proverbs 31 women.  He calls us as men of God to pursue these kinds of women that will help us grow in our walk with God.  There are certain qualities of these women that make them stand out.
These qualities make this kind of woman stand out among the rest of the women you will find.  The trait most praised is a women with noble character as described in 31:10.  This verse emphasizes that "she is worth far more than rubies." This type of person is to be valued above all things.  As Christian men, we should seek someone who will lead us closer to Christ.
This type of women also is dedicated to working and managing the finances as in verses 17 and 18.  She is a described as being a good leader in the household in verse 21.  This special type of person also needs to have strength and dignity in leading her family well (v.25), and wisdom for making wise decisions (26).  The writer of Proverbs concludes the section by saying "many women do noble things but you surpass them all." This type of women is to be praised.
Lastly, this type of woman should not look to the outside appearance but the qualities found inside.  This means her character should be above all else.  Proverbs 31:30 describes this type of women saying "but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."  Above all else, we as men should look for godly women who fear and love God above all else.  They should find their contentment and satisfaction in God alone.
Consequently, as men we are to lead by servitude, faith, humbleness in pursuing our these godly women.  Leading in these ways will help our future spouses see Christ through us.  These traits we came up with in our Bible study the other night are key to godly men.
I think servitude is key because when serving our wives they are able to see Christ through us.  Ephesians 5:22-33 and Colossians 3:18-25 describe this type of servitude toward our wives.  We are to love and serve our wives as Christ loved the church.
Humbleness is also key to being godly men.  It is realizing our weaknesses as men and looking to our wives needs not our own.  Philippians 2:3-4 describes this type of humbleness that we are to have as godly men.  We are to look to other more than ourselves.  Our life should be about others not us.
The last thing is want to discuss is that of faith.  We have to have strong faith as men in the household to lead our wives well in the trials that the family will go through.  In Timothy 5:11, Paul gives a charge to Timothy to fight the good fight of faith and stand strong in the trials of life.  We are to flee from the things that bring us down and cling to faith that produces good character.  Paul's instructs Timothy in 5:11-12, "But you man of God, flee from these this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith."
We as men as to step up and find these types of women for God calls to be equally yoked.  As men who love Christ we are to be pursuers of godly women and be the leaders that they need in their life.
