Stewardship Challenge Week 13: Godly Women Part 1

​Stewardship Challenge-2016

 Godly Women- Part 1

 “Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”
Proverbs 31:30

Since May is Mother’s Day, for the next few weeks I would like to look at Godly women and their role in the family as well as the Body of Christ.

A Godly woman is not perfect, rather she is learning to open up and trust her Savior. The measuring stick of your godliness isn’t based on a comparison to other women, but on your own personal commitment to Jesus Christ. So, what are the characteristics of a godly woman? Let’s look at a few:

• Seek God first: Reject the idea that anything or anyone can satisfy you except the Lord. Matthew 6:33-34
• Speak Faithfully: Love others with Godly wisdom, boldness and kindness       as a faithful completer of others. Proverbs 31:26
• Show true Beauty: Bodies deteriorate; looks can change, so invest into that which lasts. 1Timothy 2:9-10
• Stay Humble: Be constantly aware of pride and selfishness. Don’t think less of yourself but think of yourself less. Philippians 2:3-5

Being a wife and mother is not always easy but so very rewarding.  I have six children, 15 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter. I enjoyed being a parent, that’s not to say there weren’t struggles but hopefully they can help make the relationships stronger. Being a grandparent is a very special relationship and I love it.  Being a great-grandparent also bring with it a special love.  I salute ALL of the mothers, especially those who are raising children in our current culture. May God give you grace and a special blessing in all that you do for your husband and children.
