Proverbs 12:16-17
A fool's wrath is presently known: but a
prudent man covereth shame.
He that speaketh truth sheweth forth
righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
Prudence
is an old-fashioned word. We rarely use
it these days but it is an attribute, we as women, should desire to have in our
lives. It is being able to decide on the
right thing to do at any given moment regardless of how we feel, or natural
bents or even the influences and pressures of people or culture. A prudent woman is a woman that people can’t
predict what they will do just by knowing their personality. A prudent woman hears the leading of the Holy
Spirit and responds in a way that He directs and people realize she is a wise
woman that seems to know what to do in most situations. Here, in verse 16, we see that a prudent
woman covers shame. She doesn’t talk
about the failings and mistakes of others in a way to make her look good or to
prove herself right. She looks out to
present people in the best light according to truth. She purposes to believe all things and hope
all things. She walks in love.
