"What Virtuous Womanhood Means to Me"

Guest Post by my daughter, Robyn Phillips:

 

Virtuous Womanhood means Surrender.

It means truly believing that the way of man is not in himself...

O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
— Jeremiah 10:23

It means that I know God’s Ways are higher than my ways and His thoughts are higher than my thoughts...

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
— Isaiah 55:9

Therefore, I humbly surrender my will and my life to His Will for my life.

Virtuous Womanhood means Confidence.

It means that I can live my life confidently as I follow God’s Written Instructions found in His Word. At the end of my life I don’t have to look back and wonder if I did what was pleasing to the Lord. I can walk confidently knowing that I am not writing my own story, but simply yielding to God’s Timeless and Unchanging Plan.

 

Virtuous Womanhood means Reaping.

I can testify that God’s plan of Virtuous Womanhood is already yielding great fruit! The peace, joy, fulfillment, and contentment is incomparable to anything I have ever experienced in the world. Each day is a Joy to live knowing that I am in the very center of God’s Will because He said so in His Word.
