Supernatural Woman

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

Proverbs 31:30

You don’t have to be a superwoman; you just need to be supernatural! In Proverbs 31, a picture is painted of such a woman—an excellent wife and mother who worked diligently, provided food for her family, rose early, was an entrepreneur, dressed immaculately, helped the poor and the needy, and was wise, kind, strong, and dignified.

Simply reading about this Proverbs 31 woman can make us feel tired and stretched to capacity. Rather than motivating us, she potentially only serves to remind us of how much we are not doing. However, I see this woman not as a superhero but rather as an inspiration.

In the midst of a normal life, she discovered a secret—the God factor—and came to realize she didn’t need to be superhuman at all, but supernaturally empowered by the Holy Spirit. Through His strength, wisdom, and endurance, she was able to have and do her “all”—as God defined it. And He defines it differently for each of us.

God wants us all to live an abundant life, one where we fulfill all the purposes and plans God created for us to fulfill. One where we fulfill all the potential He placed inside of us.

God, I want to do it all, but I want it to be Your all. Please show me how it can be done!
