Hello Peeps!  

In the last stanza of the Phenomenal Woman poem, Maya says you “understand just why my head is not bowed.” For me this is highlighting the fact that there is no need to hang my head when I am just carrying out what the Lord said about me/you. Let me remind you that you are wonderfully and fearfully made – that was said about you before you were even born! Walk it out...head not bowed. 

Look at Luke 1:37 - For no word from God will ever fail.”

In this scripture the angel of the Lord was telling Mary that she was going to conceive Jesus. His last statement to her was... for nothing is impossible with God. He told her a number of what seemed to be impossibilities and then he told her the clincher sentence. He told her who God was! It is outside of the nature of God to fail. What I love is Mary's response. The very next verse says...Luke 1:38- “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.”

She didn't need to go consult her girls... she did not need to go see if Joseph was okay... she just received the word of the Lord. Her head was not bowed even though she was about to be the talk of the town! In her response, she identified herself. She said, “I am the Lord’s servant.” The King James Version says, “let it be unto me as you have said”. In other words, everything that you said about me that the Lord said about me...let THAT be unto me.

So fast-forward 2000 years later to your situation and my situation. Whatever the Lord is saying about you...that's what's up! It’s not about those lies that the haters are saying about you. Everything that the Lord our God has purposed, let it be unto you. Everything that he has promised...let it be unto you. Everything that he has destined for your life, hold your head up and let it be unto you. It's about you

Phenomenal Woman...Gurl That’s U!

knowing who you are, articulating it in a proper response, and then walking in the grace that he has afforded us.

REPEAT AFTER ME: I am the Lord’s servant...may it be unto me as he has said!!!! Then they will understand just exactly why your head is not bowed!
