I love the prayer that is written in Psalm 144:12 “… that our daughters be as cornerstones polished after the similitude of a palace” Teaching our daughters to be strong is as though we are setting the foundation stone for them to later go on and teach their daughters… it’s a beautiful picture!

Exactly the verse I was thinking of as I wrote this. 🙂

Amen and Amen! I couldn’t agree more! This is an issue that arises among many families who try to teach their daughters to be feminine, but end up probably unknowingly depriving them of having a “strong” mindset.
The points you outlined: learning apologetics & evangelism, exercise and weight lifting, and being discerning are vital elements that I see lacking and that young ladies need to practice today! We live in a dangerous day and age. And being “strong” in this sense of the word is actually BIBLICAL like you said, and necessary.
Amy says
I agree with your assessment of the situation completely! Biblical womanhood is not a call to be weaklings, but rather a call for women who stand strong in the Lord!
