A woman who fears the Lord is truly precious. Throughout her life, her family receives God’s love and wisdom, and she is like a beacon of light. Fearing the Lord means acknowledging His authority. When a woman fears the Lord, her actions, thoughts, and behavior help her walk in the path of righteousness.
In the Bible, we see many women who feared the Lord and were blessed in their lives as a reward for their faithfulness. From the story of Esther, we see that she feared God and as a result, God answered her prayer. Through three days of fasting and prayer, the entire nation of Israel was able to be saved from the evil plan of Haman.
From God’s Word, we see that a woman who fears the Lord is also wise. When we fear the Lord, we receive divine wisdom. When a woman fears God, she relies on God’s guidance in all her actions and has faith in God’s perfect plan.
When a woman fears the Lord, she can love and be kind to others. Let’s look at the following Bible scriptures that speak of a woman who fears the Lord.
