More biblical womenhood

Here is a basic kingdom of heaven principle. Saying no to your flesh in order to harvest a more important result later, as a result of obedience. Dying to yourself.

Same principle, but a different application. Saying no to present consumption in order to accomplish more in the future. Accumulated capital is more likely to occur, when a people have a future oriented perspective.( As a nation we are so present oriented that we have already consumed everything we will produce for the next 3 yrs)

Now, here comes the same principle, but harder to see….

Most of our wives have been through the worlds buffet line with heaping plates filled up with ideas of what it really means to be a women and just what kind of a life is worth living.

So It is always a joy when I read things like this article from Chalcedon By Reginna Seppi Kingdom Driven Daughters (My wife sent around a link to this article last week)

…A wise woman, Proverbs says, builds her house, but the foolish woman tears it down with her own hands. This building not only affects families, but cultures and nations.

..This building not only affects families, but cultures and nations…

Families are the foundation for cultures and nations. This family gets it. These daughters understand that they are building the Kingdom of God, one child at a time, one relationship at a time. What the culture says to them, has no allure. They are not going to be angry at God for how he has ordained life. They are too busy attending to their masters house and taking delight in, what God delights in.

This is the “city of God” being built at a foundational level. If done with present oriented eyes, it can be drudgery. But with future oriented eyes, like the pilgrims, as stepping stones for future generations, one can rest and take glory in being a part of his kingdom, bringing our Lord glory, being faithful in the little things. Though you cannot tangibly hold it, or eat it, it is as real as it gets.

When she said….Our world has no comprehension of this dynamic. That is the understatement of the year.

Like the Botkin daughters book, So Much More.

…This building not only affects families, but cultures and nations….

Whether we build up or tear down, it affects cultures and nations, towards one direction or another.

Like David accumulating as much as he could of all of the supplies for the next generation to do what he couldn’t, build the temple. Future oriented.

The Terror to Triumph DVD series can also help as it is another tool to help a person to see outside themselves and their time period. Its not about you and your salvation and hanging out with Jesus. Its about building His Kingdom for His glory. By design it is a multigenerational task, and we are just stewards, trustees of gifts, talents, children, and families and he expects us to bring him increase. (see any of the talent or mina parables about the kingdom of God) Our children will become trustees of what is passed on to them, this will include a vision for life and different types of capital.

At the very time the humanists should be shouting triumphantly that they succeeded with their government schools in turning the family into self absorbed and frustrated individuals (even within the very church!) God all over this nation is fanning a flame of his design and understanding for families! Yes individuals will be blessed, but that is a secondary side affect that comes from obedience to Gods word. Cultures and then Nations will be discipled. But this cannot happen without our women. Their part is as high of a calling as that any man can have. Technology, the church, teams of specialists , no Washington Department of the family, or even men can take their place.

Good stuff for us, our wives, sons and daughters. The gates of hell cannot stop it, so its best to be obedient and get on board …. For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the sea. Hab 2:14

This is concerned with an over arching picture and theme, if you just focus on any one thing and go “yeah but….” You will probably be right, but you may miss what it is that I am trying to communicate. We so badly need to see the big picture. We are a part of it. But when understood that our Lord calls each of the trillions and trillions of stars by their name….we can see that it really isn’t about us.
