Happy International Women's Day!



I remember listening to Pastor Dotun speak one day and she said something that wasn't supposed to be shocking but I later figured out why it was. She said "God loves men and women equally." I thought about it and realized that he did. I had heard so many messages from humans that made it seem like God feels men are superior. That's not from God. We have to be conscious of what we subconsciously accept. Don't listen to the voices that say a male child is superior to a female child or the voice that blames a wife for her husband's bad choices. Choose not to listen to the voice that says you are not thin enough, fair enough, tall enough, smart enough. Choose not to listen to the voice that makes a fellow woman an opponent instead of a sister.

Divided Loyalty

James 1:5-6 in the NLT version. Most versions write about doubt in verse 6 but here it calls doubt having "divided loyalty". The presence of that divided loyalty causes inward instability. It's like constantly switching between one of two options without picking one. The book of James has a very practical matter-of-fact approach and it encourages us to just make a choice. In this particular verse, it encourages us to pick faith over doubt.  " But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind." James 1:6 NLT https://bible.com/bible/116/jas.1.6.NLT #faith#doubt#waivering#faithblogger#bibleverse#christianinspiration

Does God feel our pain?

Do you believe that God understands how you feel? Do you believe He feels your pain? This verse is a reminder that He does. It's part of the story of Jesus visiting Mary and Martha after their brother passed away. He told them that God would get the glory and that their brother would rise again. They didn't understand that He meant that he would rise again based on his command. Jesus didn't go ahead with the miracle to prove himself to them, instead he stayed with the sisters and their mourners. His soul was troubled. Jesus wasn't more interested in proving that He was the son of God who could work miracles than he was in connecting with Mary in her pain. It's the same way with us. Sometimes we just don't understand what God is saying but He still feels what we are feeling and weeps with us.
