Honor the woman in your life~Happy Mothers Day~

Let us go beyond mans thoughts to hear the heart of Abba Father our God concerning the woman. What mere myths we have held concerning Gods thoughts pertaining to a woman service hood and worth. What error, the shame of wasted time but not all is lost, cherish and encourage the woman in your life today. Inspire your 21st century Ruth to be all God intended her to be, because when you honor her you honor God.

1 Corinthians 11:10-12 MSGV

^10-12 Don’t, by the way, read too much into the differences here between men and women. Neither man nor woman can go it alone or claim priority. Man was created first, as a beautiful shining reflection of God—that is true. But the head on a woman’s body clearly outshines in beauty the head of her “head,” her husband. The first woman came from man, true—but ever since then, every man comes from a woman! And since virtually everything comes from God anyway, let’s quit going through these “who’s first” routines.

 

Proverbs 11:16 AMPV

¹⁶ A gracious and good woman wins honor [for her husband],

 

Ephesians 5:25-28 MSGV   

^25-28 Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ’s love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They’re really doing themselves a favor—since they’re already “one” in marriage.

Proverbs 18:22 KJV

²² Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.

Genesis 2:18,22-24 AMPV

¹⁸ Now the Lord God said, It is not good (sufficient, satisfactory) that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper (suitable, adapted, complementary) for him.
²² And the rib or part of his side which the Lord God had taken from the man He built up and made into a woman, and He brought her to the man

²³ Then Adam said, This [creature] is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of a man.

²⁴ Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall become united and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Ruth 3:11 AMPV

¹¹ And now, my daughter, fear not. I will do for you all you require, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of strength (worth, bravery, capability).
