But these women’s stories—whether brief or lengthy—all point to aspects of God’s character and help us understand the larger story of God’s workings with humanity.
These women were exceptional for their time, with their decisive and brave actions that reshaped their communities and saved lives. But they were also ordinary women who were resourceful with whatever they had and used it to face the obstacles confronting them. The stories of these women long ago beckon us to also walk boldly in trust, courage, wisdom, and faithfulness.
