Let’s study the women of the Bible!
June 18, 2008
When studying the women of the bible, who do you typically think of?
Most of us think of Sarah, Rebecca, Miriam, or Deborah the prophetess. Some of us think of
What makes these women so very special?
What makes them special is that they are just like YOU – a reflection of God’s glory. It’s important that you understand your position as a beautiful woman of God, reflecting the glory of our Savior in all that you do.
In many ways, these special women of the old and new testament are very much like you and me in that they had similar skills and duties. They were wives, mothers, daughters, friends, and had a special role to play within their homes and communities.
Why is the WOMAN so special?
Well, she was created in the image of God. Just like man, she too was created to look like her Creator. We are evidently a reflection of God’s glory.
Every time we perform a good deed of kindness, or reach out to help a friend, show a little patience, or go above and beyond the call of duty to help someone else, we are showing the character of God in our lives and others are able to see the Lord Jesus living and breathing through us. Now, that’s awesome news! You – awesome, beautiful woman, shine the glory of God through your life.
There are several things Elizabeth George says in her book “Walking with the women of the Bible”, page5, that apply to every woman who wants to reflect God’s glory in her life. These are the “R’s” you should never forget. Grab a pen and paper and commit these to memory and application in your life.
“Resolve never to criticize or downgrade yourself, but instead
Rejoice that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Resolve to walk by faith paths you may not understand and
Rejoice in the promise of His nearness as He directs your way.
Resolve to live as a child of God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and
Rejoice that as God’s child your name is written in heaven.
Resolve to commune with God daily through prayer and Bible study, and
Rejoice in His strength each day and hope in Him for tomorrow.
Resolve to reflect His glory and
Rejoice in His love!”
