ENCOURAGING ONE ANOTHER
THROUGH BIBLICAL REFLECTIONS
Greetings HimPower Family,
As we celebrate Women’s History
Month, it is my pleasure to highlight the
accomplishments of several distinguished
women who continue to make a difference
in our spiritual growth and maturity each
time we read the Word of God. Please take
some time during March to read or revisit
the stories of just a few incredible women of
faith. Learn about their significant contri-
butions when God used them to accomplish
his purposes.
We are thankful that God continues to
inspire, motivate, encourage, and empower
women of God to advance His kingdom.
Be encouraged by the extraordinary women

in the bible and continue to encourage one
another through the Word of God.
“Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies.”
Proverbs 31:10 KJV
MARY: THE MOTHER OF JESUS
Mary, the mother of Jesus is admired
as a woman of obedience who graciously
surrendered to God’s calling on her life.
When the angel Gabriel told her the news of
God’s plan, Mary demonstrated incredible
faith and submission to God’s will for her
life (Luke 1: 35 NLT). God chose Mary for
a remarkable journey that included giving
birth to our Savior Jesus Christ and being
present for his earthly death. She trusted
God Almighty who gave her the strength
to Rise from each phase of the difficult
journey.
