Women in the Bible are chronicled for their courage and spiritual readiness to obey God. Deborah was a judge for the Hebrew people. Abigail’s sense of justice saved David from acting with impulsive revenge. Esther saved her people with her courageous stand before King Ahasuerus. Mary Magdalene, was the first to see the risen Christ, because her thought was attuned to the Christ. Take note of the women in your life who exemplify such spiritual maturity and honor them with your respect and appreciation. The Reading Room has chosen valuing womanhood for our prayerful attention this month.
