She Dresses Herself with Strength

“She dresses herself with strength, and makes her arms strong.”
Proverbs 31:17

A.
Dresses– to clothe, prepare, attire ones self.

B.
Strength– remain firm, courage, mental power.

I decided to do a write up and study on Proverbs 31 a little while ago. During this time a particular scripture spoke so loud to me. Verse 17, had me really thinking. So, I did my research and broke down practically every word. Focusing on the fact that this woman ‘dresses’ herself in strength.

Well, what kind of strength? Where did this strength come from? How did she receive such empowerment? These questions go straight to the obvious answer that she finds her strength in her God whom she trust wholeheartedly.

I find that we have a hard time trusting the Father when he has granted us great strength to be women. He has made us strong to overcome the winds of this life; from your first disappointment, self-esteem establishment, motherhood, to being a noble wife.

Ultimately, bringing us to the conclusion that we need to quiet ourselves by humility and rely on him with full dependence.

Leading to a photo shoot that was laid on my heart. Capturing the times in life as a virtuous woman.

STEPHANIE

Dresses herself with strength through her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Pressing through her personal battles with depression and anxiety.

She now has a smile that touches many hearts. Stephanie considers herself a warrior for Christ and will gladly tell you her testimony of being ‘the Overcomer.’
