Women In The Bible
As some of you may already know, I’ve dedicated the entire month of May to women and issues relevant to women. I’ve also added a new category to The Bookstore link located in my sidebar,
If time permits, please submit the title of your favorite book written by and about women for inclusion in our Bookstore by posting a comment to this post or the post, “A Sign Of Respect.” Thank you in advance for participating. We, as men, need to know what’s important to you. what books you’re reading, what you’re thinking about, what matters to you.
Searching the Scriptures has revealed a plethora of women who played a major role in the inspirational stories I’ve read in the Bible. Throughout the month of May, we’ll shine a spotlight on the lives of the many women written about in the Bible. For the rest of the month, we will highlight the women who both served and opposed God.
What unsung sheroe is currently making a significant different in your life and the lives of the people you love? Whose strong shoulders are you standing on today? Whose empathetic shoulders do you lean on when you need a safe, soft place to lay your head on whenever Adversity strikes? Think about it.
How many women of the Bible can you relate to personally? For example, can you best relate to Eve’s story because you have become the scapegoat who’s constantly being blamed for all that is wrong in your corner of the world?
Can you best relate to Sarah’s story because you believe your “biological clock” is about to tick its last tock?
Maybe you best relate to Lot’s wife because you’re a woman who has lost yourself, lost your identity, and lost your way because you’re married to Mr. Big Stuff. Does anybody know the name of Lot’s wife?
Can you best relate to the woman Jesus met at the well because your marriage(s) failed to last forever and you now find yourself settling for less than God’s best?
Until we meet again, take some time today to take a closer look at the women in the Bible who have reminded you that impossible is nothing to God.
