~A Woman's Highest Calling~

As I was on the computer this morning, I got an email from my Dad that really made me think.

“…when a woman, considering to what she has been called...does not refuse to endure the pains, or rather the fearful anguish, of parturition, or anxiety about... anything else that belongs to her duty, God values this obedience more highly than if, in some other manner, she made a great display of heroic virtues, while she refused to obey the calling of God.”
John Calvin


Most of the time, we all think that we need to do something "great" for God. We then, neglect our true calling to obey God's Word for our life, which is the most important thing for any Christian to do. Our calling, stated in Proverbs 31:10-31 and Titus 2:3-5, is the highest calling any women could ever do. We need to daily pray to God to become that woman, to overcome our weaknesses and to joyfully carry out our calling. We need to be sure that we are in the world, but not of it. I encourage you to live your life in obedience to our dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
