I love to study on the women of the Bible.\u00c2\u00a0 We have a tendency to think that them being in the Bible puts them on a different level.\u00c2\u00a0 But when you study them, you realize just how much they are like us, and can be used to minister and uplift us in our current needs and situations.<\/p>\n
On Facebook, I was recently asked who my favorite women of the Bible were.\u00c2\u00a0 I have so many, it really was hard.\u00c2\u00a0 But three stand out so much more than others.\u00c2\u00a0 All for different reasons!<\/p>\n
First, I would have to say Jochebed. (Exodus 2:1-9; 6:20;\u00c2\u00a0 Numbers 26:59) <\/em>The mother of Moses.\u00c2\u00a0 She was a mother who was willing to give up her child so that he might live, and then was able to teach him in his early years… and teach him with enough conviction, that later he turned to God rather than the idols of Egypt.<\/p>\n The other two are interesting choices.\u00c2\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Bathsheba, (I Kings 1:11-31; 2:13-21; I Chronicles 3:5).<\/em> She was the mother of Solomon.\u00c2\u00a0 I know she was an adulterer… but that isn’t the part I want to focus on.\u00c2\u00a0 The passage of scripture that I wonder about is Proverbs 31.\u00c2\u00a0 There are many that believe that King Lemuel, was in fact, Solomon.\u00c2\u00a0 (It is something which we can’t know for certain.)\u00c2\u00a0 If this is true, then Bathsheba would have been the mother giving her son advice.\u00c2\u00a0 What wisdom this woman would have had.\u00c2\u00a0 Could it be that she had learned from her mistakes and wanted her son to have more than what she had been?\u00c2\u00a0 Many women today, desire to be that virtuous woman.<\/p>\n Lastly, there is a woman, who kind of brings out the mystery and suspense part of me.\u00c2\u00a0 Her name is Jael.\u00c2\u00a0 (Judges 4:9;<\/em> 4:17-24). “The Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.”<\/em> She was probably an average woman… but one with the boldness and unafraid to do just what needed to be done.\u00c2\u00a0 We need to be warriors today.\u00c2\u00a0 Prayer warriors!\u00c2\u00a0 Let’s just DO what needs to be done!<\/p>\n Well, those are my thoughts for today.\u00c2\u00a0 Looking forward to our Bible Study tomorrow.\u00c2\u00a0 It will be on Sarai\/Sarah.\u00c2\u00a0 Am excited about what God will show us through studying His awesome Living Word!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I love to study on the women of the Bible.\u00c2\u00a0 We have a tendency to think that them being in the Bible puts them on a different level.\u00c2\u00a0 But when you study them, you realize just how much they are like us, and can be used to minister and uplift us in our current needs Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-journal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=273"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":278,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/273\/revisions\/278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.angelasthoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
