Calling All Women of God

          Many women today have no respect for themselves. They are walking around showing their body off wanting to look “sexy”. Why? Why do they believe that they have the right to go around showing off what is for their future husband? Why are they going around disrespecting what God created? What happened to the old ideas of how women should act?

          God teaches us women that we should be COMPASSIONATE. Proverbs 11:16 “A kind hearted woman gains respect…”. “She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.” Proverbs 30:20. Are you being compassionate? I don’t believe that verse 20 is only talking about the financially needy. Be compassionate towards the broken hearted, the people that are spiritually struggling and broken. Reach out and touch their hearts. Pray for them and for what they are struggling with.

          A woman of God should be FAITHFUL! “Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good not harm, all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:11-12. Proverbs 31:28 “Her children arise and call he blessed, her husband also, and he praises her.” I believe that we are called to not only to be faithful to our husbands (or future husbands), but also to our family, friends, and church family. Do not go around and be unfaithful to your friends by spreading rumors and letting small disputes come between you. Build a firm relationship and encourage each other.

          God calls women to be HONORABLE. Proverbs 31:17 “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.” “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:25-26. God expects us to work hard at what we do and not do things that can bring shame to ourselves, our families, or God.

          Women of God should most importantly be GOD FEARING! Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” A woman of God should love God and know that he will provide no matter what is going on in her life at the moment. He has already provided us with so much, and we know that he can take it all away in a heart beat. Fear and love God!
