March 17- Godly Women

Numbers 26:1-51
Luke 2:36-52
Psalm 60:1-12
Proverbs 11:15

Luke 2- 36There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.

This text serves as a reminder to me. It reminds me that with titles come responsibilities. Being a leader in Christianity is about one's Christian walk with God. Show me a person who is willing to forsake the comforts of life for their walk with God. Show me a person who fasts, reads, and prays (I mean seriously does these things). Show me someone who decides not to marry for the sake of God. I want to see a leader who submits in the name of Christianity, and does so humbly without boasting. You show me that, and I'll show you a person worthy of taking on the title that Anna had.
