What can Christian women learn from Tabitha’s example? Tabitha served the needs of the widows by sewing
garments for them. She was especially compassionate and tender to their needs and actively and personally
served them and others. Her example is an inspiration to women today to endeavor to serve others by whatever
talents God has blessed them with, whether as a seamstress, or one who arranges flowers, is talented in
gardening, baking, cooking, music, caring for the sick or teaching children. And, since Tabitha’s good works
were known in Joppa, especially among the widows, God used her notoriety and the event of her death and
restoration to life as a means for preaching the gospel and calling many others.
Was she a “woman after God’s own heart?” Although the Bible does not use those exact words, this is
definitely one case wherein the power of an example definitely shows that she was—and the account of her
life, death and resurrection was included as a very special example indeed!

“ Only one life will soon be past...Only what’s done for Christ will last”
