International Women's Day - Godly Women Bible Verse Challenge

Happy International Women's Day to each lovely lady reading!  


I thought today would be a great day to share with you this little "challenge" I am going to start doing for myself.  And I'm hoping that by posting it out there some of you will consider accepting this small challenge and try it for yourself!

The Bible gives us a pretty good idea of the kind of woman God desires His daughters to be.  
One of my greatest hopes in life is to be the godly woman that God knows I am capable of being for Him.  I want others to see His light shining through me.  I want to walk the path that leads to a better understanding and wisdom of His word. 

I sorta have one major issue.  I have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to memorizing scripture, sadly.  It's really bad and it's one of those things I always wish I was excellent at, but never actually take the time to truly improve on it.  

With so many changes coming upon me in life, I have decided that I need to change and improve on this!  There is no better time than the present, right? ;) 

With that being said, I am challenging myself to pick from one of these verses to memorize one a week.  While memorizing the verse I will also be putting the verse into action by practicing to be more like the woman God desires me to be. 

I've created a short list of verses to start with,  I think all of these verses are pretty short, but extremely important.  Why I'm choosing to memorize one a week isn't because of the length so much as it is learning and exercising the true meaning in my own life.  

Some of these verses are about marriage and being a wife, for those women who aren't married, don't just skip those.  One day you may be one, it's never too early to memorize the verses that you will one day need.  :)    Like a quote I read on Pinterest said, "To be a godly wife, you must live a godly life.".

Bible Verses for Women (Challenge) 

*Note, there's not a particular order in these, so memorize which ever you'd like first! :)   

   

 Genesis 2:18, 22-24 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” … And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 

Proverbs 31:20-21 She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.

Proverbs 31:10 An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.

Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.

Ephesians 5:22-24

 John 13:14-15
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one anothers feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.
