today seems to have been a whirlwind of activity. i was allowed the honor to sing with the worship team at the women's bible study. this was given by God, and it was wonderful to be doing that again.
today's study title: wielding favor and glory/what is the power of love.
God is coming back for a bride, not a church, not an army. He is coming back for a bride in her beauty and glory. women know how to do this best, they are created to be the glory of the man. women bring beauty, splendor, magnificence, we inspire feelings of wonder and joy in the man. eve awoke wonder in adam. man is the glory of God, and we are the glory of man. together we, mankind is crowned with glory and honor. we - men and women - show different glory.
women were created FOR man. statistics show that men love longer when married than when single, women on the other hand live the same amount of time whether single or married. it is not good for man to be alone - that is straight from God. a woman in a single position however has God for a husband. she can operate well single. sometimes it is good for us to be alone. we are created to be his helpmeet - men are better off with us than without us. we are not USED, we bring completion to the man. women add value to the life of a man. we were given glory to draw the man, to encompass his life with beauty. it is a place of celebration, not a domination of woman.
we are never to dishonor what God honors. He honors the man as a man and the woman as a woman. we have our separate strengths. we have the gift of feminine intuition and insight. we are able to see man (people) as they can be not as they are. we awaken tenderness, we have the ability to awaken the desire for the man to prove himself worthy of what she sees in him. it is a powerful strength. we can actually cause a man to want to be worthy of what we see in him.
the word is paralleled to a sward. men use a sword for battle. women use it to transfer honor. we elevate the men in our lives, make our sons princes, set apart our husband as royalty, call our daughters princesses, restore nobility and honor with kingdom dynamics and etiquette to the house of God. we bring honor to those around us.
for those around us we are guardians of their heart. we protect their weaknesses instead of pointing them out. encourage them in their strengths, bring balance, bless them, affirm and protect them. make sure they know you want them around.
very powerful meeting. i headed home with encouragement and a new sense of purpose.
i went home and vacuumed the house. amazing with all these things going on, and so much more to do this week that the house is somehow getting clean along with all the beautiful things God has been showing me. i am hearing His voice - that wisdom that shows up when a situation seems to erupt all over us. i am finding the strength and ability in Him, to pray until i know the answer is on its way. and i am trusting Him to save my situation and turn it into a beautiful work.
God is good and full of mercy. may i continually praise Him.
