A Woman of Strength


Main Scripture: but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,  they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV).

Song to meditate on: The Woman God Wants Her to Be - Mother's Day Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7zj--VBynU)

A woman has many roles to play; it gets frustrating at times as she is expected to play all of these roles excellently. Ladies be encouraged, God gave us everything we need to be a woman and we can execute these roles excellently if we strive to be a woman of strength and not just one who is strong.

A Woman of strength puts God first, understands her role as a woman, knows her identity in God and does not fight with her man for superiority and authority. The scripture encourages us to hope in God and He will cause to soar as eagles, He will cause not to grow weary or faint even when it becomes tiresome.

Ladies, understand that being a woman is a journey and you will make mistakes but God will make you strong and He will keep you. As C. JoyBell C says “the strength of a woman is not measured by the impact that all her hardships in life have had on her; but the strength of a woman is measured by the extent of her refusal to allow those hardships to dictate her and who she becomes.”

A Strong Woman versus a Woman of Strength
(Revised from a poem by Luke Easter with Dee Cheeks)
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape.
But a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.

 A strong woman isn’t afraid of anything.
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear.

 A strong woman won’t let anyone get the best of her.
But a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future.
A woman of strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be God’s blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman walks sure-footedly.
But a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face.
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey.
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Have A God Filled Day Ladies

Let’s Pray,

Lord Jesus, I pray that you will cause these women to soar as eagles. Father God, give us the strength they need to effectively complete this journey. Draw us closer to you Lord so that we will look to you, the hill and our source, where our help comes from. Father God we thank you and we bless your name.
In Jesus Name

Amen
