Rebuilding Godly Foundations

A woman's primary identity is that of a wife and mother. The Bible says it and I believe it. This is how we were created and we can easily see this in our everyday lives and in the lives of our daughters.

By destroying the foundation of our primary identity, feminists and the women who have unquestioningly followed them, have succeeded in causing untold misery in our world today. Women are suffering from depression, anxiety and addictions in epidemic proportions. Wives and mothers are abandoning their families and committing adultery at higher rates than ever seen in the history of this country. Women are dying faster than ever of heart disease and suicide. Why?

When you force a house off of it's foundation, it crumbles. The house of female-ness, having been pulled away from it's foundational identity of wife and mother, is falling apart today.

Today, being female means being sexually provocative and available, obsessed with appearances and the accumulation of worldly goods and focused on finding personal fulfillment at any cost.

Floating through life without the anchor of a loving, unchanging God and his decrees to live by does not feel like freedom. It feels like free falling, falling fast without a safety net. Avoiding commitment and a feeling of personal responsibility to a husband or children has become the goal as women's magazines feature countless articles on "How Not To Feel Guilty".

The modern woman's mantra has led to the breakdown of our families, just as Satan would have it. These are the thoughts that society constantly reinforces:
-I should work the same as a man
-I do not need a husband: marriage is unimportant
-I can look young forever
-My money is mine to with as I please
-Caring for children is an unimportant occupation
-Keeping house is demeaning and unnecessary
-The best example I can give my children is that of a working woman
-My children's academic and financial success is most important
-Someone else can care for my children just as well as I can
-I refuse to burdened down with a husband and children
-I do not contribute to society by staying home
-God wants me to use my God-given gifts outside of the home to help bigger numbers of people because it is numbers of people helped that is most important.

Our foundations need to be re-built ladies! The only way to do this is one woman at a time turning her heart to God, her husband, her children and her home. Only then can we begin to change this sad, anxious country into a God-honoring one for the glory of God.

How do I know so much about the mind of the modern career woman? Because I used to be one. Why am I so convicted on the true source of happiness for a woman? Because by God's grace alone, not that I can boast, he has transformed me by allowing me to partake of the true source of happiness, abiding in my Lord Jesus Christ and learning not to live for myself but for Him and those whom He sent to me.
