When you read through Scripture (and I mean the Holy Books, to be precise), it’s easy to notice the numbers: nearly 3,000 men are named — prophets, kings, disciples, and leaders. In contrast, only about 93 women are mentioned, and fewer than 50 are named.
At first glance, it might feel unbalanced. But here’s the truth: God never measures value by numbers. Even when history recorded more men than women, His story always included women at the pivotal moments — shaping destiny, carrying promises, and bridging heaven to earth.
Eve opened the door of creation. Sarah carried the covenant. Deborah led a nation. Ruth brought redemption. Esther preserved her people. Mary bore the Savior. Their faithfulness wasn’t about recognition — yet it changed the course of history.
And that’s where the real question lies: what about us today?
I want to live a life that makes God say, “Great job, faithful servant.” Not for applause. Not for honor. But for faithfulness. For walking in purpose, building unseen bridges, and nurturing hearts in ways that reflect His love.
God never designed men and women to compete — He designed us to complete one another. Strength and tenderness. Vision and nurture. Leadership and intercession. Together, our lives can reflect the fullness of His image.
So, if there were a “Bible 2.0” — a record of faithfulness and obedience — would your name be there? I want mine there. And I live daily to hear that one statement that matters above all:
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
