A Talented and Successful Woman
Created to Be a Success

by Regina Thorp —Part 4 of 4

But his/her delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His Law
(the instructions, the teachings of God) he/she habitually meditates
(ponders and studies) by day and by night.
Psalm 1:2

....God knew that in a fallen world the message we would get about ourselves would be that we don't measure up, that we aren't capable of being successful, so He clearly covers this issue for us. He shows us how to dissolve the lies we have been told. He tells us to think about what He says about us, to ponder, to meditate on it day and night.

.... Isn't that what we do naturally with the negative things we have been told? We ponder them, we think on them. It's easy to believe the lie that we are less than. So He clearly gives us a beautiful picture of the woman He designed us to be in the Proverb 31 Woman, but we've allowed people (the world, even the church) to tell us that no woman could be this great, so we disregard her as someone we could never become. God gave us the Proverb 31 Woman to encourage us, not to bring us down.

As a woman thinks in her heart so is she.
Proverbs 23:7

....God didn't put the Proverbs 31 Woman in the Bible to mock us. No, it was to let us know how He sees us. With His help, His strength, and His guidance we can experience the fruit of a virtuous woman in our lives. She is put there in the bible for our benefit and God made it possible for us to become her through His Son. He knew we'd need a picture to look at, besides the one we'd come to see in the mirror. By asking us to meditate, (to ponder, to think on) His Word, we would come to believe what our Heavenly Father says about us. By His grace we can relinquish our negative thoughts of who we think we are, to His positive thoughts of who we truly are in the light of Jesus. We are the Virtuous Woman because of Jesus. We are a success in Him. Thank you Jesus!!
