Despite the popular notion today that it is more spiritual to remain weak, struggling, and vulnerable, God desires to build us into valiant, valorous, fortified warriors who fear none but Him alone and are vulnerable to none but Him alone. Amazingly, the chief word that characterizes the Proverbs 31 woman is strength. And all throughout the New Testament, we are constantly exhorted to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
YES! I can't say that I am a "strong" person. Without getting too personal, I'm very sensitive, emotionally vulnerable, and unstable. But God desires for me to be strong in Him. It does not please Him when I cower from criticism and hate from non-believers. I must stay strong.
