Woman of God

Much of John the Baptist's ministry took place on the east bank of the Jordan in Herod's territory of Parea. When John was imprisoned, Jesus took up his ministry in Herod's territory of Galilee which was viewed by Herod, not only as a challenge but also a threat. Despite the risk, Mary Magdalene was committed to Jesus' ministry. Hannah is one of the most inspiring women in the Bible and also one of the most identifiable women in Scripture for a number of reasons. We recognize her for her sorrow.

She wanted a child so badly but was barren. She prayed to God that she would be granted a son and in turn, promised to dedicate his life to the service of God. She left her son to be raised in the Temple, while still staying connected to him, providing counsel and wisdom to him throughout his life. She is also recognized in the Bible for her sacrifice. Her son later grew up to be one of the most influential and Godly figures in the Bible.

One of the most inspiring things about Hannah is the fact that she never gave up hope that God would hear her prayer. Hannah's fervent prayer and vow teaches us that consistent faithfulness and persistent prayer get God's attention. She believed God for a son and He multiplied her faith by giving her many children. Jesus loved women and treated them with great respect and dignity.

This can be seen throughout the New Testament. For example, Jewish women were barred from public speaking. The oral law prohibited women from reading the Torah out loud. Synagogue worship was segregated, with women never allowed to be heard. The rabbinic oral law was explicit: And imagine how stunned this woman was that the Messiah was trying to reach out to her and offer her living water for her thirst soul.

The woman at the well became one of the first mass evangelists for Jesus Christ. She was able to confront her past truthfully and transform into a motivating mouthpiece for the Lord. The quintessential worshiper and intimate follower of Christ, Mary of Bethany is described in the Bible as "seated at the Lord's feet, listening to His word" Luke Mary was the sister of Martha, and her brother was Lazarus from whom Jesus raised from the dead.

We see Mary three different times in the Bible, beginning with the incident in her home of her sister, Martha referenced in Luke This is probably her most recognized feature. Jesus further said that choosing the better thing, learning of the Lord, would not be taken away from Mary.

Her priority in life was Christ, the knowledge of Him, and the nearness to Him has chosen what will last through eternity. Esther is an inspiring story about a remarkable woman who was willing to risk her life to save her people. She was a woman of principle who was willing to put the lives of others ahead of even her own life. She was an outstanding example of serving others even under the most stressful circumstances.

Most of the time our lives may be pretty routine, but all of us have a few defining moments when we may be called on to put godly principle above personal benefit. Esther modeled bravery and courage when she risked her life to save the lives of her people.

She teaches us that we must break intimidation and use our influence to bring glory to God. Jehosheba, daughter of King Joram gripped by the power of motherly instinct, fled danger in order to protect her son from death and helped to preserve the future of Israel.

Brigid too becomes a priest, all foreshadowed from South Sudan to Massachusetts by holy visions and mystical experiences. Straining credulity, however, is the incompletely developed premise that the JMJ Catholic—lite movement becomes a worldwide phenomenon in a handful of years, so much so that Brigid is received amiably by a much-like-Francis pope.
