O Woman!

O woman, that statement let’s women know that we have a voice at the throne of grace and mercy.  We can’t make a man or God do what we want them to do but we can have the faith to persuade the outcome that we would like.  Have you seen Jesus do anything for you out of the sight of others?  Well, it may only be conjecture but I know that Mary had to have seen her son Jesus do something miraculous before the changing the water into wine episode.  It wasn't his time yet but she helped usher him into his calling.  We can do that same thing with our husband’s and children – just keep the faith and trust that when it is time; he (they) will step up to the plate.  The Syrophenician woman who beseeched the Lord on behalf of her daughter heard “O woman” and she learned that sometimes women have to endure in order to get our breakthrough; perhaps some words that we would rather not hear but God who is rich in mercy will bless us nonetheless.  Mary and Martha spoke ignorantly saying, “Lord if you had of been here.”  They referenced Jesus as Lord of this life but didn't have a clue that he was Lord of all life - both in the natural and the eternal.  Sometimes it’s better to be ignorant than right.  Women are more powerful than we can ever imagine.  Eve had a hold over Adam so much so, until he didn't question whether or not he should eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil – he simply took and ”did eat” knowing the consequence would be death.  Foolish of him yes, but we see that women have far more power than we give credit to ourselves.  Women stay in faith and seek the Lord and you will be instrumental in the birthing process of not only children but the Promise Land for you and your families.
