Wisdom for Women : Christian Articles

Oh my, really? You don’t understand, they used me and mistreated me. I was left alone…all alone. I don’t believe they deserve my love. You don’t know the pain and sorrow that person has caused me. The abuse I received was unmentionable, embarrassing and shameful. I will never, never be able to look them in [...]

It’s December, filled with Holiday parties and goodies everywhere. It’s become easier for me to just reach for food, not only when I am physically hungry, but also when I am emotionally and spiritually hungry. With so many opportunities to indulge, I’ve found myself less and less sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. [...]

To go through a thing…I mean go through it, is how I will grow. My faith will never become stronger if I have no reason to trust harder. But to get through a thing and to really get on the other side of it, is the vehicle for growth and fresh places of wisdom. God [...]

I wanted to use two versions of these verses. God is very intentional about what He wants us to do with our past. Good or bad, ugly or amazing, we are not to walk through life with our head looking over our shoulder. True we cannot completely forget the past, only God has that ability [...]

As a rule, most of us are concerned with little things, you know, things like getting a good parking spot, like the library having that book you’ve been looking for, your favorite dish getting dropped but not broken, catching that red light when you’re running just a little bit late. I’ve got news for you; [...]

Paul literally thought he was going to die at moments. The Apostle Paul related very well to this place and lived to tell about it! He not only got through it, but extracted the precious from the worthless when he said that as a result he stopped relying on himself and began relying upon God [...]

There is a huge cloud of witnesses surrounding you today. We have David, the giant slayer. Then there’s Deborah the Judge of Israel. Think about Joseph who’s life of extreme emotional and physical pain propelled him to second in command in Egypt because He stayed the course with his God in Heaven! What about Daniel, [...]

Are you searching for purpose in your life? Most all of us want to have a fulfilling life. We want to be able to look back and say that we lived each day to the fullest and left our mark on this world. God put us on this earth at this time and place for [...]

Why do I have so much trouble stationing myself quietly? When things are out of my control, I will be tempted to do this or that in order that circumstances may alight in my direction. Just when I need to be still, will come the greatest temptation to make motion! When I need to hear [...]

Your words were found, and I ate them; and Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. I sat not in the assembly of those who make merry, nor did I rejoice; I sat alone because Your [powerful] hand [...]

Today, a delivery came upon my back porch. It was a clear, red sign of the encroaching fall season. Although most trees are still green and warm temperatures continue to prevail, there was an unrelenting feeling that came over my soul: Fall comes soon. Ready or not, it’s time has come and summer must give [...]
