Dear friends, Throughout scripture, we find stories of bold, courageous women who were warriors for God’s purposes. Though often overlooked, these heroines provide invaluable examples of faith for us today.
Consider Deborah, a mighty judge and prophetess. She led Israel’s army into victorious battle, saving her people from oppression. Her wisdom and leadership were a gift from the Lord.
Or think of Jael, who slew the enemy commander Sisera. With quick thinking and resolve, she ended his cruelty against the Israelites. Jael’s strength averted disaster.
The Bible also tells of Rahab, whose brave betrayal of Jericho helped Joshua conquer the city. She protected the Israelite spies at great personal risk, eventually becoming part of Jesus’ lineage.
Esther too showed remarkable bravery. She put her life on the line to save her people, boldly approaching the king. Her courageous intervention thwarted catastrophe.
Indeed, scripture overflows with stories of valiant women who shaped history. God equipped these heroines for divine purposes, just as He strengthens us.
Dear sisters, take heart. The same Lord who emboldened the women of old is with you today. He has gifted you beautifully and calls you to serve His kingdom. Be courageous. Stand firm in faith. God delights to work through willing vessels like you.
As modern day “women warriors,” let us follow the examples of our biblical foremothers. May we tackle each challenge and calling with faith, wisdom and fearless resolve. Our world needs what God has placed in us.
