“Older women must live in a way that honors God...they should teach others what is good. Older women must encourage younger women to love husbands and children, to live wisely and be pure, to work in their homes, to do good and to be submissive to their husbands. Then they will not bring shame on the Word of God." Titus 2:3-5
I had to go through the destruction of my life and family to see how many mistakes I made. Growing up in a troubled household I didn't have a godly example of what a wife or mother should be or How our Beloved Lord created us to be. I followed the world and what it taught and because of my lack of knowledge, my house was built on sinking sand.
But after the destruction of my house, my Beloved Lord stepped in and in His mercy showed me all the areas I went wrong and how deceived I was with what the world teaches. And now, as an older woman, I can teach my children and other women He sends into my life.
The Wise Woman in Waiting book is the book I wish I had earlier in my life, but now I can use this book to teach my daughter not to make the same mistakes I made.
If you want to teach your daughter, or any younger women, to build her life on the Rock, please read Chapter 17 Encourage Younger Women. I also found that I learned so much from these lessons, gaining more wisdom to be a Wise Woman.
Please join the conversation by sharing your testimony in the comment section below the lesson.
Thank you for sharing precious Adina, I also had to go through it, to see my own mistakes, because I have to admit I was so blind to my many many mistakes.
I too was not taught how to be a godly wife and mother in my family. I did not know the principles from His word. I am so thankful that He let my house fall down because He has now taught me how to be a godly wife and mother. He will also teach me how to teach younger women, especially my daughters
Thank you for teaching Adina, that’s truly important. With me also the same, I liked what you said, that our Beloved steped into to the scene and made everything beautiful again just like in the begining, when He said that all was good.
So God created man in His own image;
in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.e
28God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”
29Then God said, “Behold, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. They will be yours for food. 30And to every beast of the earth and every bird of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth—everything that has the breath of life in it—I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
And God looked upon all that He had made, and indeed, it was very good. Genesis 1:29-31
