Biblical Womanhood

Today I am inspired to begin my blog series on a subject matter that has been ringing in my heart for quite sometime now: BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD. It has become an obscure concept lost in the sea of many other notions about femininity, that I believe now is the high time to bring it into light.

What were we, women created for? Just like how beauty pageants ask in perpetuity, ‘what is the essence of a woman?’ I also inquire of the same thing. Fancy clothes? Sassy attitude? Great figure? I bet none of these were on God’s list as He unfolded His greatest creation for Adam to behold.

It is heartbreaking to see how women have settled for the mediocre things in life. These things that they indulge in may not be evil in and of themselves, but they simply are, superficial. We have sat around in the bleachers of complacency and decided to stay lackadaisical- about life, our character and our relationship with God. We are so passionate about the wrong things that we have not invested on the things that truly matter. Is womanhood simply about the clothes we wear or the way we fix our hair? Does our purpose hinge on marriage or motherhood alone? How should our devotion towards the Lord look like?

In my next entries I attempt to answer these questions and other issues that I have been itching to rant about. I am of great belief that God has so much more in store for us women, that is why it’s truly tragic to see my sisters get easily satisfied with anything less than God’s best.
