For women

[Rachell]

This is Woman’s month and we therefore treat ourselves with some “me”
time. We recall that we should celebrate our femininity. We are
different to men and do not long to be the same or to be treat the
same. This is what makes us unique. This is how God created us and
this is what we want to celebrate.
I came across Ezekiel 16 where the Ezekiel describes in feminine terms
what the Lord has done to Jerusalem. He chooses to make it plain in
terms that a woman can relate to. Ezekiel says that in sin we
struggled and were kicking in our blood. When we were saved the Lord
said to us “Live”. He gave us life and with that life we grew like
plants. We grew in all areas in our lives- in our family life; work
life; spiritually and financially. The Lord sees us like He sees
Jerusalem “the most beautiful jewel”. The Lord saw our nakedness and
dresses us. He dresses us with “an embroidered dress, shoes on our
feet and bracelets on our arms. “ The Lord put a beautiful crown on
our head. We wear our family, husband and kids like the crown that
the Lord crowned Jerusalem with. We wear them with pride. We build our
home and our workplace with pride. The next time we clothe ourselves
we are remind that the Lord wants to clothe us in splendor and beauty
that is fit for a queen.
Prayer: Lord, as women we thank you for clothing us in splendor with
fine linen. We carry ourselves as the queens that you have intended us
to be. We declare you grace over our homes, workplace and family.
