Hello sisters!
I hope you're standing fast in the faith today and walking in the truth! Our life is short. Big things are made up of small things. We want to be faithful each day, so each hour and minute in fact matters! And our life is made up of these small time fragments. We want to be redeeming the time in good things that are necessary and useful. We have been set free from that which is useless and vain!
Here's some reminders and encouragement for us women again! Good to refresh in!
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
1 Timothy 2:9-15
Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.1 Timothy 5:9-10
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
1 Peter 3:1-6
We are blessed to have commands and examples to obey and follow. Let's keep seeking to do that sisters! There's so much in those scriptures to ponder on, depending on what life the Lord has for us, married or unmarried. Yet there's things that apply to all of us of course. Good to ponder on being shamefaced and having meek and quiet spirits, the hidden man of the heart which is of great price to God! He sees us going about our duties and we know there is order in His creations of man and of woman and also in the body of Christ.
But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.1 Corinthians 11:3
Let us humbly serve our God in the places and roles and duties He has called us in!
Strive on faithfully sisters! Love you in the Lord our God who first loved us. May our Lord be magnified!
