The Virtous Woman of God (Part 1)
When God created the heavens and the earth, he made man but did not leave him to be alone he made woman out of man Gen. 21- 25.He made the woman out of the rib of man.Women have played a tremendous part in this world because the impact they have made cannot be forgotten. If we look at the life of some characters in the bible we will see for example the life of Mary, we would see that through her our Lord and Savior was born(Luke 1:28).She was highly favored among women. Jesus had to come into the world to save man from sin. She was a virgin and she gave birth to the Savior supernaturally(Matt.1:23).
Throughout history, women have been used by God and they are still be used by God in this day and age. In the book of prov.31, the bible tells us of what a virtous woman goes about business daily. Through mary our Lord and Savior was born. God knew a woman had to be made so that the Savior could be born into this world. In the book of Esther, we see another example of a woman of substance, a godly woman.Usually, the woman in scriptures is someone who is connected to the birth of a savior or is someone who plays the role of a savior. Women of today are should look at these godly women of the bible and try to be like them. For christian women, they ought to be godly and seeking to please the Lord.Women need not pay too much attention to the outward appearance but should pay attention to the inward beauty. Natural beauty is good and God-given, but God needs the inner beauty more than the outward appearance.
Women of God are supposed to adorn their hearts more than outward appearance(1Tim.2:9-11).
Jesus spoke with several women like Martha, Mary the brother of Lazarus and related with them and they served him and they were touched by the Master and their needs were met.The bible referred to them for they played a role no one else could have played in the history of mankind.
God loved the world so much that Jesus had to come and he had to come through a woman.When Moses was about to be born, a deliverer, he came through a woman. There are so many references to women in the bible that we could look at today. God is still able to make godly women out of women of today if they are willing to yield themselves to the Lord.
