For women who may appear weak, may you be raised up by the power of almighty God.
Lord, be their stronghold today. May they dwell in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 91:1-2) May they know You to be their rock, salvation and defense so that they will not be moved or shaken. (Psalm 62:6) Even though they may see strange and bad things happening all around, those things will not come near those who YOU guard and keep safe Lord.
Today, save them from all evil plans of the enemy. Preserve their going out and their coming in from this time forth and even forevermore. (Psalm 121:8)
For whatever is broken in our lives, Jesus is the answer.
Ask the Samaritan woman, and I am certain she could tell some you some things about what transpired that day! When Jesus asked her for a drink of water, her response was of racial prejudice. But Jesus' response to her was one of love. He knew all about her. He came to show her what her true heritage was. And it was a heritage which WAS to know the Gift of God! John 4:4-41
When Jesus shows up like He did for the Samaritan woman, He asked a question."Will you give me a drink?"
THE Living Water that satisfies asked the woman living full on in the natural being ruled by sense knowledge. We also know that which cares for the body as filling with water that came from the well will not satisfy! But that which comes from the Lord who is the way, the truth and the life will always satisfy us. That which is eternal, the Life-giving force, sets up a foundation to change everything in our lives for the good.
When Jesus comes into our lives, it is to fix the broken places in our lives. When Jesus comes, He repairs and makes us whole again.
When God reminds us of sin, He does it because He loves us. AS with the Samaritan woman, her life could be defined as the woman who had a string of unsuccessful relationships with men. She had kept looking for "the man" who could make her life "right"! Her life was broken and Jesus came to fix it!
It is not the natural that will help, It is not the world that will make us famous, or wealthy or wise. It is the God of Love who gave His son of Love to us. He sent His best so that we could partake of all the benefits His Son got for us on the cross! Jesus is the way, the truth and the life!
For those women who against all odds, see the unsuccessful or the broken, the expectancy should be in God Who is the faithful and always comes through our situation to see us made whole and healed.
Our focus should be on God and not some man or thing to make our life "right". Our Source is to be God. It makes a difference when we seek first the kingdom of God and all these things are added to us.........Matthew 6:33.
When Jesus finished talking to the Samaritan woman, she ran back in excitement to tell everyone in the town .................."Come see a man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" verse 29
John 4:39-42
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did." 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own word. 42 Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
NKJV
What needs fixing in your life? What is broken and must be put back together again?
As the Samaritans of that city, let's hear Him and know that He is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world!
Father, in Jesus' name........we appear to stand against all odds, and need help much like the Samaritan woman. Today, we are seeking Your plan for our lives and will be receptive to receive the good You have for us. We know the world holds no answer for us. Father, we ask to be able to see and recognize the good things YOU have for us today. We confess YOU today as Lord of our lives and say that strength and honor are our clothing. Please show us where to walk Your path of smoothness. Today I pray for each of us to have the continual voice of calling for things that God has given us by His promises that are not yet manifested. Thank YOU for those things YOU have given us that pertains to life and godliness. I pray that we see the life Jesus gave His life for.....and....may we grow up in the Lord Jesus Christ. And Lord help me to keep going when the daily life seems hard. May I be like Esther who gave her all to stand before the King. And may we speak like Mary did, "Be it unto me according to Your Word. " Amen.
