READ: James 4:6-10
“For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.” – Psalm 18:27
The Scripture below teaches that women will do well if they are not amazed (emotional). …whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1 Peter 3:6
“Amazement”, speaks of the emotional nature of women. When the emotions of a woman dominate her, she loses her focus. Emotions can make a woman forget all the Scriptures and principles she knows. Do not allow emotions of sorrow, fear, jealousy, hatred, and insecurity to overwhelm you. Remember, you will do well when you are not dominated by your emotions.
Because women have suffered greatly from discrimination, they tend to be reactionary and are tempted to be proud. Many women display the pride of a “no-nonsense” person. There is no need to be proud and reactionary. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up! God can promote you better than you can with your words.
I often say that women suffer the temptation to be unforgiving. They have fishhook hearts. This is a deep, narrow and retentive heart which stores up all the hurts and experiences of this life. God will not hear your prayers when you do not forgive others. Your life will change dramatically when you learn forgiveness. Woman, remember that your sins are numerous. It is in your interest to walk in love and to forgive those who have hurt you. This will make you a daughter that pleases the Lord.
