Proverbs 31:25 has always been an inspiring, powerful verse for me. She and I are the same, we are strong and we do not fear for tomorrow. However, it was not always that women, I was once weak and filled with worry and anxiety that still try and creep in.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; and she laughs without fear of the future. - Proverbs 31:25 NLT
I have learned over the years that courage and strength come only from facing trials head on and walking out the other side of them. ear and worry are only can only be overcome when we place our focus and full trust is God’s plan for our lives and accepting that often times it is not what we want or think we need.
We must be shattered to be made new, to become stronger and more resilient. To strengthen our faith and our trust in our good Father. God uses all these things, the pain and anguish, the joy and laughter to mold us into the person he created us to be!
Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. - Isaiah 64:8 NIV
We have merely a glimpse of the big picture that is God’s plan and every tear, every season is woven into His master plan for us all. Have faith and take heart in knowing that God has called upon you and cares enough for you to make sure you are prepared to do His work.
3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. -Romans 5:3-4 NIV
