I took a few pieces of this article I read and thought was really legit, these are just the things that stuck out to me personally the most.. you can read the whole article at the website listed.
Actually, this is just like, nothing, you should read the whole article if you're interested. This lady writes a lot of articles and she has some pretty biblically sound stuff to say from what I've read so far..

Satisfaction comes purely and solely from knowing there is nothing else that compares to living our lives in submission to his glory.
The fear of the Lord leads to life and whoever has it rests satisfied; (s)he will not be visited by harm. - Proverbs 19:23
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - Proverbs 31:30
Eve was propositioned with a simple question from the snake and her resulting conclusion was, ”God is holding out on me. I deserve better than this. My eyes are delighted and my desire is stirred (Gen 3:6) – I think I’ll take this matter into my own hands.”
Eve had no fear of the Lord. In that moment, she did not:
Cherish God’s provision
Trust God’s goodness
Believe God’s promises
FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT THINGS
Fighting might look like actively proclaiming the gospel of Truth to yourself, combating your deceived heart and determined enemy with a vengeance. Fighting may look like full and utter submission, resting in the power and provision of the Lord to sustain you. Harm, as defined by the absence of God, will not touch the woman who fears the Lord.
