Don't Be Silly Girl...

Don’t Be Silly Girl…

If the truth be told there were some silly women in the Bible; and all I am recommending is that neither you nor I be one of them. 

As women we wield much power but power in the wrong hands or used inappropriately, can cause more harm than the helpful good that we were to attribute to the subduing and taking dominion; and replenishing the earth…

What are you saying to your man? What are you saying to your children? What are you saying to the world in and around you? 

Mary the Mother of Christ was young but mature.  She could have easily denied the gift being offered to her but she spoke with a heart that chose to follow after God and to please Him.  Same as Ruth and Esther both have books for their namesake in the book of all books – the Bible because they chose God.

Our power isn't the triangular shaped pie slice betwixt our thighs… It might work on Joe Schmo for a while or a lifetime but God knows that it was good when he made it, but he’s not concerned with what your mama gave you; but rather what he can do through you and not just in a nine month stint… We are more than just to be fruitful and to multiply.

Rachel was sought after for 14 years and loved dearly by the Jacob … but she wasn't mentioned much… sort of a baby-mama.  The Harlot was rewarded for her heroism in the Hall of Fame of the Faith….

Sarah was the wife to the patriarch of our faith Abraham, but what she was known mostly for was her silliness… laughing while she was eavesdropping on her own blessing… and if you know her story, she kept on taking actions into her own hands instead of seeking God for direction.

They were both Matriarchs and the helpmeet to two of the greatest men to be in the lineage of our Christ but weren't significant enough to be recognized for their participation in the growing of the faith.

Our responsibility as women goes a lot further than the kitchen and the bedroom.  Before there was a bedroom, there was a garden and there was Eve.

It’s not about age because it truly is just a number… God can use any of us, at any age; we just need to not be too silly and laugh when it’s time to be taken seriously and not to manipulative to get us kicked out for good.  It’s time to stop being silly and start being about our Father’s business as wives, mothers, sisters, and word-givers…
