Written

Humble,
loving, kind
She
sits at the feet of Jesus
Godly,
she fears the Lord
Resourceful,
her hands work diligently
Obediently,
she submits in love and the fear of God
Selfless,
she prepares to meet the King
Boldly,
she requests deliverance for her people
Prayerful,
she fasts and intercedes
Spending
quality time with God
Fearless,
fully trusting God for victory
She
calls the men of war to rise up against oppression
She
leads a nation to war
Wise,
cautious, she kills the oppressor of her people
Feeding him milk which makes him slumber
Sound asleep, she drives the tent peg in his head
and ends his oppression of her people
Strategic, tactful, she places Moses in a basket
Moses is saved from Pharaoh’s claws
Raised in Pharaoh’s palace
The audacious woman of Samaria
Boldly,
courageously, she converses with Jesus
Speaking
the truth about her past
Letting
go of the negative past
To
take on the glorious future
She
shares that future with her people
A
city turns to Christ in a day
Because
a woman hitherto disrespected finds the glorious future
And
counsels her people to buy into that future
Her
boldness and courage speaks volumes of
Wise
women who build nations
Despite
being confined to the positions of water fetchers and carriers in cities and
communities
The wise woman of Abel of Beth Maachah,
Her wise counsel saved the community from
destruction by Joab.
Providing support for kingdom work
They ministered of their resources to Jesus
She supported the Apostle Paul
She sacrificed their last meal for the Prophet and
stopped famine in her household
She made clothes for the widows and the poor
They gave their gold, silver and bronze as well as
their skills, expertise, and time for the building of the tabernacle – Luke
