Its International women's day today and I am so grateful to God for creating me as a woman and I am not just saying that, I mean it!!!! I have no regrets whatsoever. God is a perfect God and He had good reasons for creating women. The bible tells us that God said that it was not good for man to be alone? This shows us that woman was created to be a companion and a helper. Then he blessed them too and told them to be fruitful and multiply... This tells us the role of the woman in the family.. We can go on and on with references in the bible where the role of women is elaborated.
The bible tells us of women like Deborah who God used to lead the children of isreal on to victory in the war against Siseria (judges 4). This story tells us that God can use women. We also see Esther, the young Jewish queen of Persia who God used to deliver His people from the wicked plans of Haman. (Read the book of esther for her story). Let us go to the new testament, we see women whom God used. We could even start from the gynealolgy of Jesus Christ. Note that 5 women are acknowledged? Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Mother of Solomon, and Mary the biological mother of Jesus. These were women that played very key roles in the biological lineage of The Lord. If God could use them, how can anyone think less of them?
Sadly over the ages, a lot of factors like religion and culture has affected the way people even women think about the role and purpose of the female species. This really breaks my heart. In so many countries and societies woman are seen as second class citizens with no value or importance at all! This is just wrong! God does not want this!! Its time for us to start understanding the role of women as God sees it and the only way to see this Is in Gods Word! We must study and discover the hidden riches and mysteries in The bible. Therein lies the truth.
To every woman out there I wish you a happy day! God bless you.
