a Godly Woman



Are you a godly woman? Do you have a godly woman in your life? A godly woman isn’t perfect, rather she’s learning to open up and trust in her Savior. The measuring stick of your godliness isn’t based on a comparison to other women (not even the Proverbs 31 woman), but on your personal commitment to Jesus Christ. As you continue to grow spiritually (and everyone has their own timetable in Christ), you will:


#1) Demonstrate an intimate familiarity with God’s Word
“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)
You reveal the godly woman in you when your thoughts, words, and advice are based on the Bible and not your opinion. You’re not throwing out scriptures to show how knowledgeable and spiritual you are, but rather your key instinct is balancing faith and actions on the word of God.
“Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
You don’t frantically wring your hands in the valleys of the unexpected. As a godly woman you have the inner peace of the Holy Spirit to comfort, guide, and teach you when everything seems out of control. You learn to lay your concerns at the foot of the cross and leave them there.

As our culture tumbles down the slippery slope of worldliness and immorality, you are confident in your Sovereign God to make all things work together for good. (Romans 8:28) You will refuse to let fear invade your thoughts or feelings by constantly reminding yourself of God’s promise to never leave you.
“Pray continually." (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
We need godly women to fervently grab hold of Jesus just like the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28 and refuse to let circumstances dictate the final outcome over faith. As a godly woman, you will never give up praying for the hardest hearts, the deepest needs, or the highest mountain tops.
“You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion…" (2 Corinthians 9:11)
With the help of the Holy Spirit, keep in step with the godly woman in you.
As a godly woman, you will give time, energy, gifts, and finances in days of feasting or famine. You learn to resist the fear of holding back because of your strong confidence in God to meet your needs according to His riches in glory and to grant all your desires according to His will.
“She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue." (Proverbs 31:26)
The godly woman’s advice is punctuated with practical applications of truth drawn from the Bible. Your firm, but gentle words of wisdom will lead many women to the Lord seeking answers for the perplexities of life.
“I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.” (Psalm 38:18)
A godly woman recognizes that she is forgiven and will be careful to not make light of sins that caused Christ to suffer on the cross. By confessing your sins to God on a regular basis, your heart will remain humble and tender to others who fall into sin’s treacherous temptations.
“A cheerful heart is good medicine." (Proverbs 17:22)
Rather than displaying a sarcastic or mocking verbiage at the expense of others, a godly woman brings an inescapable joy with her wherever she goes. You learn to not take yourself too seriously and you will speak life without sacrificing truth or righteousness in your conversations.
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might." (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
As a godly woman, you are fully committed to finishing to the best of your ability. Whether for home, job, or church—your dependability reflects the inner conviction of working for Christ and not for those around you. Your reputation becomes solid among believers as well as unbelievers.
“Forgive as the Lord forgave you." (Colossians 3:13)
You know that you may be mocked, misunderstood, or mistreated for the sake of the gospel. As a godly woman, your forgiveness is unconditionally given to others as you are unconditionally forgiven by God. You choose to forgive in spite of your feelings—entrusting God to heal all your hurts in His perfect timing.

10 Prayers God Always Answers Prayer can be such a beautiful, simple, and complicated thing at the same time. Everyone prays in their own different way and still, our loving God hears every one.

"Use me to glorify you." One of the Lord’s greatest desires is to use us to glorify him. Sometimes it can be hard to know what to do or where he is directing us.  Simply ask him and he will answer. It could be something as big as starting a non-profit for a specific cause or something small, but just as powerful, like...

How can you tell whether you’re a genuine believer or a false professor?   Consider what William Guthrie says in chapter 5 of his book about the differences between the true Christian and the hypocrite. Here are some ways in which the hypocrite may be like the Christian. 1. A hypocrite may be influenced by the gospel in every part of himself . He may come to great knowledge of God’s truth ( Heb 6:4 ). His emotions about Christ may be high ( Matt 13:20 ). He may even experience drastic changes in the outward man, like the Pharisee who prayed, “God, I thank You that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, etc.” (Lk 18:11–12). 2. A hypocrite may look to others like he’s a true believer . He might talk of the law and the gospel ( Ps 50:16 ), openly confess his sin to his own shame ( 1 Sam 26:21 ), and humble himself in sackcloth ( 1 Kgs 21:27 ). He may even carefully consider what duties he needs to perform and seek after them (Is 58:2), persevere even in...
