Self examination
We are focused on meeting Mr. Right but are we looking at ourselves and asking am I a godly woman ready for a godly man? Lord do I need more work before I am ready to be introduced to the man you have for me? Self-examination is the order of the day. I want to be the best I can be so that I can attract the best there is for me.
So I did some research and looked at Ruth’s character. A lady that clung to her destiny? I know that she did not focus on searching for a husband; sure I know she probably had this deep desire inside of her to have someone to hold. God did not make a joke when he said “a woman’s desire will be for her husband” so ladies do not feel bad, it is an absolute natural feeling to want a husband. Yeah it’s biblical!!! Ruth was a gentile and her faithfulness led her to a greater inheritance. She depicts the example of a woman who would not compromise and focused on looking after her very sour mother in law. How many of us will do that? We all have to make a choice about loving the world more that Yahweh. What are you doing with your choice?
A godly woman is…. an ungodly woman is….
Courageous | Afraid |
Kind | Rude |
Loyal | Disloyal |
Determined | Irresolute (unsure) |
Diligent | Lazy |
Trustworthy | Corrupt |
Wilful (conscience design or purpose) | Disobedient |
Confident | Timid (lack of confidence) |
Wise | Ignorant (lack of knowledge or awareness) |
Joyful | Sad |
Pure | Unclean |
Self-controlled | Irresponsible |
Patient | In-patient |
Gentle | Angry |
Humble | Controlling |
Compassionate | Selfish |
Virtuous (having moral excellence) | Rebellious |
Meek (restrained power) | Stubborn |
An ungodly woman wants to be stubbornly independent; independence from men, independence from God, independence from anything or anyone except themselves.
A Godly woman thinks before she acts, knows how to comfort and encourage, accepts and gives nothing less than the best, does not let outside influences stop her from being a godly woman. Women of God, we are royalty! Let's not live beneath our stations as princesses! We are special because our Heavenly Father cherishes us. Be strong, dignified, multitalented and caring and an individual in your own right. Be completely trusted with the responsibility for the lands, property and goods. Have the business skills to buy and sell in the market, along with the heartfelt sensitivity and compassion to care for and fulfill the needs of people who are less fortunate. Cheerfully and energetically tackle the challenges each day. But first and foremost, never take your eyes of Jesus. Make God’s will your primary goal in life. Be a woman after God’s heart….
