God is within her; she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.  Psalms 46:5

 

Good Morning!

The Bible is filled with women who were strong, courageous, and had deep faith. Some are known by their names, while others are recognized by their actions. Each of these women exemplified one or more of these biblical traits.

 

1. Proverbs 31:30, fear the Lord.

2. Colossians 3:23-24,  emphasizes working for the Lord.

3. Ephesians 3:18-19, Love for the Lord

4. Galatians 5:22-24, Bearing the Fruit of the Spirit

5. Ephesians 2:10,  Created for Good works 

6. Proverbs 31:25, being strong and wise.

 

As the leader of a nation, Deborah served as a judge (Judges 4). She was also a wife, warrior, and poet, she possessed an array of Godly superpowers. Led by God, Deborah displayed the traits necessary for victory over the Canaanites.

Ruth, Sarah, Rahab, Rebekah, Leah, Mary, and Miriam are among the other women known for their strong faith in the Bible. 

Mark 7:24-30 recounts the story of the Canaanite Woman, whose daughter was possessed. Her unwavering faith is something that be should remembered.

 

These women encountered situations that demanded faith, love, fear, work, and the bearing of the Fruit of the Spirit, these women tackled them all.

 

Similar to women today, the women in the Bible share many characteristics. Leaders, judges, mothers, and wives just to name a few. Women of today are warriors. The can be strong and relentless. 

Women of God exemplify their love openly and can move mountains when necessary. Through their prayers and unwavering faith in God, they have helped restore homes and communities and led even the most hardened individuals to God. Through imperfect people, women of God know that their positive faith in God can accomplish great things.

Women were created by God not solely for their beauty, but also to be the source of new life. In addition to their beauty, tenderness, love, wisdom, and power were bestowed upon them by God. Created for the Kingdom of God, women are destined to accomplish great things. 

Women, I charge you to embrace your calling as women of God and live each day with confidence, faith, and humility.

In this dedicated month of honoring women, let us recognize their greatness and pray for God's blessings, grace, and mercy to surround and protect them.
