In God's design, women are valued and esteemed for their unique roles and contributions. The book of Proverbs praises the virtuous woman who fears the Lord, and the story of Ruth showcases a foreigner's faithfulness and loyalty. According to Galatians, in Christ, women are equal heirs with men, while Titus instructs older women to mentor younger ones in wisdom and kindness. The Psalms also honor the queen, urging her to forget her people and her father's house, and instead, focus on her relationship with the King.

And when the LORD has dealt well with my lord, may you remember your maidservant.” Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me this day!
