A Woman Of Purpose And Powerಮಾದರಿ

 God’s Good Idea

God designed the woman not as an afterthought but as an integral part of His plan in creation. He created her in His love and with particular care. Her uniqueness is a reflection of God’s purposes and design for her.

Do you understand how special you are? Adam hadn’t even imagined the woman, but God had her particularly in mind. In Genesis 2:18, the Lord said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (NIV). In essence, Adam was fumbling around in the bush thinking up animals’ names (see verses 19–20), and God said, “This is not good. This man needs help.” So it was God who said that the man needed the woman.

You are God’s very good idea and His unique creation. God’s mind thought of you, and God’s Spirit brought you into being. You are the result of His idea, and that makes you very valuable to Him.

God specifically placed the woman in the garden of Eden along with the man. In Genesis 3:8, we read that God walked in the garden in the cool of the day in order to meet with Adam and Eve. The garden represents humanity’s relationship with God, the place of fellowship.

You cannot be the kind of woman you are supposed to be if you are outside of God any more than a man can be anything outside of God. Any woman who is outside of a relationship with the Lord is a dangerous woman, just as a man who is outside of a relationship with the Lord is dangerous.

You can be who you were created to be, and fulfill the purpose you were meant to fulfill, only as long as you remain in the garden of fellowship with God. 

Therefore, you cannot become all that God intends for you as a woman of purpose and power unless you are continually in fellowship with Him, filled with His Spirit, learning His will, and obeying His Word. Many women today are not living godly lives. They have rebelled against God’s plan. They are living outside the garden in the wilderness. If this describes your life, return to the garden of fellowship with God today. Your heavenly Father is waiting for you.   

Thought: A woman cannot fulfill her purpose unless she is in relationship with God.
