The Bible has given the hard working women very high status. Do you know why? Because God knows how valuable hard work and devotion. In the rightness we see how hard working women bring respect for their families and society.
It’s not just a word – in the Bible we find the story of a lot of hard working women. Suppose Ruth’s words – what a wonderful hard work she did for her mother -in -law! And Esther? As a queen, how much risk she took for her nation. These women show us what a wonderful result if you work hard by relying on God.
You know, the Bible doesn’t just say housework. It also speaks of women entrepreneurs. Think of Lydia – he was a successful businessman. It shows that women can contribute greatly to society with their talent.
God respects women’s labor very much. She knows how important the work of women is at home or outside. But one thing to keep in mind – not just working, it has to be done according to God’s will. Only then will that work be worthwhile.
The quality of women mentioned in Proverbs 31 is an ideal for all of us. He is not just a diligent, but also kind. It teaches us that not only will it work, but also to be good people.
In the Bible, there is a special thing for the mother. I know, being a mother is not easy. But the Bible says that every one of your acts, every sacrifice God sees. He value your efforts.
Let me say one thing before finishing – I want you to stay in the house or work in the office, lead or serve – remember, your work is worth it. In God’s eyes, you are very, Very Valuable. So start working on a new initiative from today, know that every effort of your effort is important to God.
Now let’s see some special parts of the Bible where the working women are talked about. Not just read them, think how to apply them in your life.
