"Our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace."
- Psalm 144:12
I like this verse, mainly because of how it describes what it means to be a woman of Christ... a pillar. A pillar is not just a thing of beauty to look at, but it has a specific and important purpose. A pillar stands tall and firm. It holds up structures. It is a crucial part of the building. It is a support system of strength, dignity, and honor. We're not just statues set to stand beautiful in the palace; instead, God calls his daughters to play an active, steady role in his Kingdom on earth. And in the work that we do, we become something "carved to adorn a palace." It is in our strength, perserverance, willingness to compassionately serve that we become beautiful. The image of a pillar is also something of delicacy and feminine. It is not a huge, large, block structure. More, something precious and artistically designed.
I want to be a pillar.
