It is a shame that women today no longer want to be mothers and homekeepers as the Bible teaches. The woman is to guide the house, that is, everything that involves the care of her husband, herself and her children. We receive an excellent description of what a mother and wife should strive to attain to in Proverbs 31. Few women can claim likeness to the loyal, virtuous, godly, diligent, hard-working, honest, trustworthy, caring and admirable woman in Proverbs 31. She is worth more than fine gold and rubies (diamonds) according to Proverbs 31:10.
The word “guide” in 1st Timothy 5:14 is the Greek Word oikodespoteo and means “to be the head of (that is, rule) the house.” Notice that the Bible says the man is the head of the wife, not the house. The husband and wife have DIFFERENT roles. The wicked world refuses to recognize this Biblical truth. Instead, the unsaved, heathen world has women entering into the military, politics and the corporate world. The Bible says in 1st Timothy 5:15 that they are turned aside after Satan. To choose a career over motherhood is to turn aside after Satan instead of fulfilling God's will for your life ladies. The choice is yours alone to make. What will it be, money or motherhood? You cannot serve both mammon (wealth) and God. Every decision that we make in life is dictated (controlled) by our master—whether that master be the love of money or our love for the truths of God's Word.
