Being a Woman of Godly Character
Have you ever been in the presence of a woman who was not caught up with herself, but was genuinely concerned for needs of those with whom she was spending her time? She cares. She notices. She is different. Why? She is a woman of godly character.
What can make the difference in the way we act, speak and respond as a Christian woman? It’s that we, too, have the ability to live a life of godly character. In short, we are image-bearers of our holy God. We are to reflect His nature. We will never be omnipresent (though others may think we can be!). We’ll never be omniscient or immutable on this side of heaven. However, there are many character traits of God that we can possess. The question is, are we availing ourselves to the power of God and being Spirit filled each day so that we can be that kind of woman in our world?

We suddenly realize that the Lord has a ministry for us and we are awestruck at the opportunity to serve him.

This post is part of the continuing series as we review A Woman After God’s Own Heart, by Elizabeth George.
I heard about a woman who was having a dinner party and fixed an elaborate meal. Everything was cooking, chilling and baked, ready for her guests that would arrive a couple hours later, but she found herself hungry. She sat down and ate a couple of large candy bars “just to tide herself over.” When it came time to serve her guests, she had no appetite for the lavish meal!
We are guilty of doing the same thing when we foolishly binge on things that have no value to our spiritual life. Let’s glean some great practical advice that Elizabeth George was given by a friend that will help us to grow spiritually because we’re feasting on God’s Wisdom.
