Someone sent this to me in an e-mail years ago. The original author is unknown. This would make a good jump-start for a Bible study, but just reading over these is convicting and instructive, too:
LIKE WOMEN OF THE BIBLE
Like Deborah, I will serve the Lord in power and speak His word without fear.
Like Esther, I will intercede for God’s people before the throne.
Like Abigail, I will humble myself to wash the feet of the servants of the Lord.
Like Sarah, I will respect my spouse and his ministry to the Lord.
Like Hannah, I will dedicate my children to the Lord.
Like Priscilla, I will explain the way of God more perfectly to those who are seeking.
Like the Shunamite widow, I will trust God in the day of adversity.
Like Lydia, I will be a worshiper of God and open my home to His ministers.
Like Tabitha (Dorcas), I will always do good and help the poor.
Like Joanna, I will use my wealth to support the ministry of Jesus.
Like Mary, the mother of Jesus, I will hear the word of God to me and answer, “Be it unto me as you have said”.
Like Mary, the sister of Martha, I will know the voice of Jesus and hear his words.
Like Mary, the mother of Mark, I will make my home a haven for the followers of Jesus.
Like Mary, the Magdalene, I will keep at the feet of Jesus and love him unto death.
Thanks for something to meditate on and to add to. I am always looking for ideas for a Bible study. Your blog is a blessing.
Just found your blog .. 🙂 .. thanks for these. A few days ago I was thinking of finding a study on the women of the Bible. This will give me a GREAT start!
