Day 18 – She isn’t fearful

“She is clothed with strength and dignity,” Proverbs 31:25a NLT

Uncertainty becomes your shadow when you are a wife and especially when you are a mommy. “Am I doing the right thing?” ran like a highlight reel in my mind as a young mom.

But through the years God taught me a very, valuable lesson: uncertainty causes fear. Worrying about the future and anticipating all the bad things that “might” happen can leave you feeling hopeless and even depressed. Your mind starts to exaggerate the scope of what you have to face and you become so paralyzed with fear that you cannot take action.  And while looking back at my life moments, He was right! God’s always right!

I have learned that uncertainty and all its unwanted, ugly accessories like fear are not something I want to wear as a Godly woman. He showed me that He is my strength in ALL situations and what it looks like when my soul is clothed with it. His dignity becomes mine and a solid defense against uncertainty because I know that it does not matter what the next moment or tomorrow brings, I can face it with God.

I like to be dressed according to Heaven’s dress code….

Prayer: Father, we can be such worry worms and spend so much time contemplating what is going to happen and how bad it’s going to be. Teach us, Lord, through the Holy Spirit, to take these moments and seek Your strength and dignity and to be clothed in it. With this, we can face anything! Thank You for being our strength and dignity. Amen.
