A Balanced Woman Of God


How do women become balanced women of God in this unbalanced society we are presently living in?  There is only one way, you must become students of the Word.  The one thing I try to impress upon the women I mentor is the importance of knowing and living God's Word.

For some reason, it is so easy to remember to eat at least three meals a day, take a daily shower, watch some television, etc. but when it comes to spending time knowing God, there is no time.  This is like going out into the world naked.  Every day, you must put on the full armor of God.

Life is a spiritual battle.  Satan would love to destroy your marriage.  He would love to destroy your children.  He would love to destroy you.  If you are not in His Word daily, you will be influenced by the lies of society.

Put down that cheap novel.  Put down that cheap magazine.  Stop watching the cheap reality shows.  They only pollute your mind.  Become a serious student of the Word.  Read it daily.  Meditate upon it.  Pray the words of Scripture over your husband and your children.

This is the single most important thing you can do for your family.  As you study His Word, you become more like Jesus.  Your husband and your children will be drawn to Jesus.  How can you expect to raise children that walk in Truth if you are not spending time knowing Truth?

Don't blame your husband on not being a spiritual leader.  You and you alone are responsible for your spiritual growth.  Have Bibles laying open around your home.  Listen to sermons being preached by godly preachers.  Listen to praise music.  Read the Bible to your children.  Immerse yourself in Truth and not in this forsaken, godless world.

It is up to you women.  Do you want your husband and children to rise up and call you blessed at the end of your life or do you want a shattered marriage and children walking with the world?  Make reading God's Word and knowing Him a top priority in your life.  This is the single most important thing you can do to make a difference in your life.  Please don't drop the ball on this one.

The only way you will become a balanced woman of God is to know God deeply.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
 teaching and admonishing one another in 
psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, 
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:16

Excellent!! You totally hit the topic I needed to hear today. I am so guilty of the novel/television distraction. This probably also addresses the question I sent you recently concerning being discontent when I compare my life to the worlds in novel/television world.You are a treasure to us ladies.
Now that's great advice. So true. The bible says we are to pray to be able to recognize what is vital and of real value thereby rejecting the world's junk. Many things look good, but are really not worth our time.
So true! I think this could be the most subversive and effective way Satan works. It is very easy to get distracted with "good" things so that we are not spending the time with the Lord that we need to. I definitely need this reminder and I also need to schedule my time better so that I don't let my devotional time slip.
Wow, such a good and true post. I am making reading the scriptures every day and trying to fill my mind with good and uplifting things. Thank you for this reminder.

My pastor has been preaching on this. She has been using 1 John 5:21 in her sermons. She even said, games online (Candy Crush etc), Facebook, emails, just wasting time online etc.

I didn't finish my sentence lol. B wasting time, you are putting other things before God, instead of putting God first you put Internet time, TV shows etc before picking up a Bible. Sure you can do all those things, but pray and read the Bibe first. Spend time with God, everything else can wait.
This is such an encouraging post. Yes, I do these things...read and study God's Word and pray for my family daily but I just can't tell you how wonderful it was to read it tonight!!

I found you over at The Modest Mom linkup tonight. Have a wonderful day!!
So true. We cannot lead our children any closer to the Lord than we already are ourselves. It is so easy to make time for t.v., computer, etc., and yet not the Word. I need this encouragement and reminder today, my friend! Thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday linky party today! :)
I've often thought that God's view of balance is out-of-balance with what the world thinks! We have to let the scales tip toward Him, don't we? Good thoughts, Lori.
nice
