Happy new month!
This post will look at some of the women in the bible who used their wisdom and power and affected their children and the whole generation.
Gen 25:22-23,we see Rebekah Isaac’s wife seek God pertaining to the struggle of her children in the womb and God’s word concerning them.V.28 tell us of the parental preferences in that family.Gen 27:5-17,46-28:2,explains the manipulative actions of Rebekah to get her favorite son a blessing and get him to escape.She never sought God on this matter.Gen 30:32-43,shows the seeds of cunningness in Jacob to gain more wealth.Rebekah had taught her son that the end justifies the means.
Exodus 1:15-21 tells us of Hebrew midwives who used wisdom to save the Israelites’ sons.Ex 2:2-9,Moses’ mother Jochebed involved the whole family to watch out for her son at the river.Miriam his sister was at the right place at the right time to execute God’s plan.It also seems like his mother taught him who he was.Ex 4:14,God tells Moses that Aaron his brother would help him and would be glad to meet him.This was evidence that there was no sibling rivalry. Exodus 15 has the song of Moses and Miriam.
Later on God testifies about the house of Jochebed,Micah 6:4,….’Have I not sent before you Moses,Miriam and Aaron?’
Paul writing to Timothy also testifies of the faith that was in Timothy’s grandmother Lois and mother Eunice which is in him now 2 Tim 1:5.If you examine these examples closely you will realise that all the women involved did something that affected their generations.
In the next post we will look at how these examples apply to modern women in this country and how we like some of them can change this country.Thank you for reading!
Blessings to you,
