“Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib and brought her to Adam” (Genesis 2:22 NLT).
Ever Googled anything about ribs? No, not the sticky, barbecuey type, but the ones from which the female population is made? Interestingly enough, without our ribs, we’d be nothing but floppy beanbags. God creatively and uniquely designed our ribs to be just strong enough to protect our most precious systems–our heart and our lungs.
And we, gals, are made from that tough stuff. What might come your way today only God knows. But He’s created you to handle it—with His help, of course.
You can do it, fellow rib-sisters—whether it’s facing a giant, cleaning up around your house filled with blessings or knee-deep in raising your little rib-lets. He’s made you out of some tough material.
