A Worthy Woman~A beacon of Light

Proverbs 31:15

She rises also while it is still night and gives food to her household and portions to her maidens.

Now I might be wrong about this, but I don't think God was talking about a woman getting up before everyone else to slave over the stove and cook.  

I think he was referring to the idea that when there is darkness all around, when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, a worthy woman will stand and be that light.

A woman will rise when the darkness falls all around her and be ready to fight.  She'll be prepared even when those around her aren't.  In the absences of light, when you are engulfed in the pitch black, even a flicker of light can be blinding.  It can illuminate even the darkest places.

I believe that God has called us as women on this earth to rise when all around us fall.  When everyone quivers in the dark, he asks of us to stand, to rise up prepared, trained, ready.  He asks of us to be a beacon of light in a sometimes very dark world.
