A Biblical Woman is Confident

by Amberly Buckley

“She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.” -Proverbs 31:18

May we all have the confidence of a Proverbs 31 woman! She knows the value of her work. Not because of its physical worth, but because of its eternal worth. Her merchandise is what she is doing with her time here on earth. She is confident that she is inheriting her riches in Him, not of this world. Her lamp, or unwavering commitment to serve, never goes out because she understands who she is serving, and it keeps her going.

How can we be salt and light to this broken world if we are too stressed, worried, and frazzled to keep our eyes fixed on Him? When we cast our fears and doubts aside, we can live in His truth and stand on His promises; therefore, we can share that truth with others.

“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” -Hebrews 4:16

What can you do today to ensure that your lamp does not go out at night? Go confidently into this world because you know where your hope lies!

Know that it is not about you, but about the One who died for you because He wanted to be in relationship with YOU! Trust that His love, grace, and mercy are PERFECT and that you are not. You can boldly approach your Heavenly Father.

“Because of Christ and our faith in Him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.” -Ephesians 3:12

As women, it is so easy to fall into the comparison trap, and this technological world does not make it any easier. But, hold fast to His promises! Physical beauty does not last, but in Christ, you have an attractiveness that never fades. A relationship with God is what makes a woman attractive, strong, and confident.

Who you are, your true identity, should be defined by who you are in Christ and who He says you are, rather than what the world says about you. Let your confidence be contagious! Nothing is more attractive than a woman who is unshakeable and boldly claims: “I AM WHO YOU SAY I AM!” Confidently press on with a heart of humility, kindness, compassion, gentleness, and patience. Go out into this world with such confidence of who you are in Christ that the world’s darkness cannot make your flame go out.

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” -Colossians 3:12

Being a confident biblical woman does not mean striving for perfection, but resting in the fact that you are perfectly loved by your Creator. If you are feeling frazzled, overwhelmed, or confused by all the craziness in this world, spend some quality time with your Heavenly Father today. You will walk away refreshed, calmed, renewed, and assured of who you are in Him because of His perfect grace and mercy.
