International Women’s Day

This morning all over the media much is being touted concerning the incredible women in the world. So many women I myself have encountered through my travels over the years, to five continents. So many believing women of faith have enriched my life and encouraged me. God, when He created woman saved the best for last. She is the coupe de gras of creation. God had seen it was not good to be alone, so He created the woman and brought His goodness to man. 

Years ago, I was convicted about giving only messages concerning women on Mother’s Day and Mary on Christmas. There are so many woman of faith in the Bible that are testimonies to our God—Godly women. In fact, this week will be Purim, in which Esther saved the Jews from genocide. Women full of faith, courage, and great love for God. Such as the woman who broke the vile of perfume and poured it on Jesus. 

“Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the entire world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.” – Mark‬ ‭14‬:‭9‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

This woman will be unforgettable. This one-time act of worship and love for Jesus has been preached in my hearing many times in many places as Jesus said it would be.

As I listened, many media outlets declared the greatness of woman from motherhood to every aspect of life. Not one mentioned the value of wives; mothers, yes, but wives, no. The world’s view, since feminism has been championed, has devalued the woman as a wife in the world. 

Of course, for various reasons in her struggles. Yet the word of God holds her in high esteem.

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the Lord.” – Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭22‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

So when God saw creation was incomplete, and created Eve, for man, Solomon writes, concerning woman’s  first introduction, she is good and brings favor into our lives. 

Today I honor and appreciate all woman everywhere, especially those of the Father’s house, and cannot go without acknowledging my wife Betsy and three daughters Olivia, Hannah, and Norah. I love you sooooo much. Thank you Jesus!
