Women’s History Month – Part 20: Concluding Remarks

The Legacy of Obscure Women in the Bible

As we say goodbye to March, we close out Women’s History Month by reflecting on the lessons learned from each of these obscure women in the Bible. We honor their lives by seeking to be a little more like them. May we all leave a legacy that inspires faith, courage, and transformation.

The Woman at the Well

The Samaritan Woman, also known as the Woman at the Well, reminds us that living water is free to all who receive it. This remarkable lady leaves a legacy of truth and transformation. Her story provides hope. Hope that God will meet us in our brokenness and offer us eternal life.

Taitha

Tabitha (Dorcas) reminds us that faith is integral to life. Her livelihood as a seamstress enabled her to clothe and care for those less fortunate. This miracle-healed lady leaves behind a legacy of compassion and revival.

Hannah

Hannah endured anguish on many levels. Yet, she prayed at the Temple and made a promise to God. If given a son, Hannah would dedicate him to the Lord. And she did. Her son left his mark on a whole country and changed the course of history. This prayer warrior of a lady leaves a legacy of faithfulness and integrity.

Lydia

Lydia was The Book of Acts version of Martha Stewart. Her open heart and home became a foundation for the early church, proving that faith and vocation can work hand in hand. This lovely lady’s legacy of hospitality and leadership inspires us all to lead with our hearts and minds.

The Midwives

Shiphrah and Puluh, the courageous midwives, stand as models of resistance against injustice. By defying Pharaoh’s decree, they essentially preserved the future of Israel, teaching us that small acts of bravery can have lasting consequences. Their legacy of courage encourages us all to speak out for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Food for Thought

Each of these women, though often overlooked, shaped history in their own way. Their stories inspire us to live with

purpose,
faith,
and courage,
knowing that God can use even the most obscure people to accomplish His divine plan.

Thanks be to God.
