When a Woman Speaks

Shared on FB by Rita Jackson, #womenofGodspeak

When a woman speaks, amazing things happen. She speaks with knowledge and authority but also with love and tenderness. She speaks with pain and sorrow but also with hope and courage. She speaks with elegance and grace but also with                                           power and anointing. She speaks to her Father in prayer and changes the destiny of nations, families, and friends.

Yes, when a woman speaks the earth moves. When Leah spoke, “She named him Judah, for she said, “Now I will praise the Lord!” When Hannah spoke, she said, “I am the very woman who stood here several years ago praying to the Lord…and he has granted my request.” When Esther spoke she said, “If I have found favor with the king, and when Ruth spoke she said, “Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.” When Elizabeth spoke, she said, “When I heard your greeting, the baby in my womb jumped for joy.” When Mary spoke, she said “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!” When Anna spoke, “she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem.” When the Samaritan woman spoke, she said, “He told me everything I ever did!”

Women of God, speak! Because when you do, the Father listens and the impossible happens.

I find it amazing how God continues to use women in our lives today, thank you ladies for all you do to share God’s love and bless us in so many ways. I can only add Proverbs 31 covers it all and verse 30 and 31 in particular.

³⁰ Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. ³¹ Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.

LOOK AHEAD

I share of post from  Face book that blessed me. (Musa Wawuyo Mussa)

The prudent understand where they are going, but fools deceive themselves.

Proverbs 14:8.

A head coach is thought to be eccentric because of how extensively he plans and plays in advance of each game. Most coaches would wait to see how the game unfolded, then respond with plays that seemed appropriate. But a good Coach wants always a game to respond to him.

Looking ahead is the process of creating the future before it happens. People who learn to do it “understand where they are going.” It involves deciding your actions in advance so that your life will respond to you. What are the benefits of such a proactive pursuit?

Looking ahead gives direction. It’s like using a highlighter on a roadmap to indicate where you are, where you are going, and how you are going to get there. The highlighted roadmap not only provides information for where you are going; it also suggests where you are not going.

Looking ahead helps us to create rather than react. With each step along our journey, we are faced with a choice either to create or to react. Many people spend their entire days reacting. Like goalies in hockey, with pucks flying at us all day, we react. We react to news, cars in traffic, people, events, challenges, and obstacles. A better way involves making choices and following plans.

Looking ahead saves time. “One hour of planning saves three hours of execution.” Planning yields a savings return. We only have twenty-four hours in a day and 365 days in a year. If we don’t use them wisely by looking ahead, we will forever forfeit those gifts.

Looking ahead reduces crisis. Our daily lives have two controlling influences: plans and pressures. When we look ahead and choose to plan, we take charge and control of our days. If we fail to look ahead, we will spend our days in crisis mode. We will fall into a trap of panic planning—planning on the fly with no time to effectively map out a strategy.

Looking ahead maximizes energy. Failing to look ahead, we dissipate our energy on less important matters, improper agendas, and lost crusades. We waste our time on the trivial many. But preparation often energizes us! Be wise. Look ahead. It’s eccentric but well worth the effort.

Good advice, take time to acknowledge God and lean not to your own understanding. All is well when we trust Him with all our thoughts and plans. Don’t be a fool.
