I would like to start working on a little series called Biblical Womanhood. To be the best Christian wives, mothers and women we can, will take some sort of effort on our part. Life isn't necessarily easy but we can enjoy it. If we aren't enjoying the life we have now maybe we need to reevaluate our priorities. We need to see where and how we are spending our time, what our focus is on, how our attitude is, etc. These really do set the tone of our homes. You know the saying, "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy?" I really think that is true. We have so much power and we don't realize it, we don't realize that we influence so much. If our focus is on God and eternity, we will make mistakes, but our lives and those around us, will be so much better. As Christians (whether male or female) we shouldn't be sour all the time, we don't need to walk around with a chip on our shoulder. We need to fill our homes with joy, joy for the Lord! We need to purposefully be joyful everyday. Even if we are having a bad day, things just aren't working like they are supposed to, we still have the love of the Lord. Jesus Christ loved us so much he came to earth and suffered in a horrific way so we can go to heaven. We are here for such a short time, we need to make the best of it. We need to show the world what it is like to be a joyful and happy person. We are going to spend eternity in the presence of a God that loves us so much. What do we have to be upset and angry about? If you went to a restaurant and the servers there always had bad attitudes and were mean, would you keep going back? Would this be your favorite place to eat? We as Christians are the servers and the patrons are the unsaved world. If Christians acted like the servers in the restaurant, why would anyone in the world want to be a Christian? Everything starts with us. We have the power to affect so much, why not make it positive?
I want to use the Bible as our base. Here a few verses that I would like to start us off with:
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." (Deuteronomy 6:5)
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." (Galatians 2:20)
"Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands." Proverbs 14:1
Proverbs 31
"10Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
"Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Psalm 35:27
11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."
