Question 1
This chapter talks about Tabitha... the only women in the Bible to be labeled as a "disciple" of Christ. She is a women described, not as a hard headed, driven man-women kind of women but instead someone who was gentle, quiet and just gave to others when she could. I think that lots of times when we try to "be somebody" for God we think we need to be like a man-disciple. Be a modern, do it all, with-it kind of career women. This women was the soft, compassionate women who worked quietly for God. How do we become this kind of women-disciple?

I think that God calls us to be all sorts of disciples for Him. Some women I know CANT be the quiet, understanded disciple...it's just not their personality. So instead of seeing the strong, career-oriented, must do it all woman disicple...or the quiet, behind the scenes kind of disciple, I think we just need to recognize the personality and strengths that God has given us and become a disciple in whatever way fits us best. I don't think God cares how we love and serve Him...He just wants to be loved and served.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you BUT... Isn't God molding us all to His character and making us more compassionate, caring, etc. And as women I think we need both traits being able to be soft and strong "do-it all". I really struggle with my soft side, especially as a pastors wife... needing to be compassionate to people in need.
