The Deep, Unshakable Root -
of Christian Womanhood
“A Christian woman does not put her hope in her husband, or in getting a
husband. She does not put her hope in her looks or her intelligence or
her creativity. She puts her hope in the promises of God.
She is described in Proverbs 31:25: ‘Strength and dignity are her
clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.’ She laughs at everything
the future could bring because she hopes in God.
She looks away from the troubles and miseries and obstacles of life
that seem to make the future bleak, and she focuses her attention on the
sovereign power and love of God who rules in heaven and does on earth
whatever He pleases (Ps. 115:3).
She knows her Bible, and she knows her theology of the sovereignty of
God, and she knows His promise that He will be with her and will help
her and strengthen her no matter what. This is the deep, unshakable root
of Christian womanhood.”
