Proverbs 11:16 says that; “A gracious woman retains honor;” ….
Honor is a gracious woman’s virtue which the Lord created within her in the beginning to be retained and no demonic power can take it from her. Honor is righteousness. She will not indulge in acts damaging to her status in the vineyard of God or in her home. She is always careful and obedient to divine instructions. Such was the case of Hannah in 1 Samuel 1.
Honor is morality. Therefore, a gracious woman retains her morality, no matter under what condition she finds herself. Such was the case with Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:15, 16, “And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.” 16. “Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.” That was Hannah, a gracious woman that retained her morality.
To retain is to keep and or secure something; therefore, a gracious woman retains honor, integrity, and morality in all she does. Such was the case of Abigail in 1 Samuel 25. “A woman of good understanding.”
A gracious woman is a woman who preaches the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and is a great resource in God’s vineyard, after the order of Priscilla (Acts 18:26 and Romans 16:3)
Truly, we are gracious women and we retain our honor to the glory of God. Amen!
