She is always available to her family! What does that really mean? If someone (in my family) is asking for something, do I do it/get it for them? YES. Do I then never teach them(children) to do anything for themselves? No-absolutely not-I teach them by serving them, that we are called to serve each other-as Christ did. I am there for whatever they need-a hug, an ear, because they want to talk, a hand to help-whatever! It is possible, but I have to first put my own needs aside. That is what is difficult to do, and so against our sinful nature! In our society, I should come first-my needs, my wants, my desires! In the Godly woman(and man)'s life, we are called to be servants!
I am in a ladies bible study group right now that is studying the vine. Last week we spoke about how Jesus' deciples were expecting Him to rise up at some time and RULE the earth-with an iron fist so to speak-as they expected. Instead, he knelt down and did the most lowly of tasks-washed their feet! (John 13:1-17) Their expectations were wrong, so Jesus showed them the importance of serving.
Help me to, whenever possible, say YES! I know you are my sole provider, and I look to you for all things!
