Huldah
“Every woman’s work will be known: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will try every woman’s work of what sort it is.” 1 Corinthians 3:12
Though one of the rare women of the Bible, her role in building God’s kingdom is no less important. We probably wouldn’t choose her as someone to pattern our lives after. But we can, because she was a woman of quality. Her story is told in II Kings 22:14-20 and II Chronicles 34:22-23. Her name is Huldah.
She is known as “the woman who unveiled the future of a nation”, a remarkable spokeswoman for God. When the book of the law was found during the repairs of the temple, it was Huldah that King Josiah, through God’s guidance, asked to interpret the meaning of God’s words. Faithful to her calling, the prophetess Huldah can certainly be ranked with Deborah, Hannah, and Esther among Old Testament women. As a result of her prophesy, a revival brought renewed spiritual life to the kingdom. Amazing what one woman can do when she exercises the God given power within her!
Heavenly Father, our time spent on earth is a time for building the Kingdom of God. This means our vision must spread beyond the doors of the sanctuary and minister to the needs of the world. In this respect, stir us to catch the vision and the burden and start gathering spiritual stones to build your kingdom. Thank you Father, Amen.
Blessings,
