A WOMAN'S GUIDE TO FAITH
(Engaging through the common truths found in the Bible)

-

A famous scripture for the women is Proverbs 31:30 which states, ‘Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.’ This scripture highlights the power of women’s faith in the Lord and emphasizing on the result of faith over beauty.

Similarly, the Bible instructs the women to express their faith through some ways which God really likes and wants. For example: 

  1. Trusting in God's promises: Just as Hannah trusted with faith to have a child (1 Samuel 1:18-19), women are called to trust in God's faithfulness and provision in their own lives.

  2. Obedience to God's commands: Just like Mary who willingly complied with God’s word to carry Jesus in her womb (Luke 1:38), women are required to submit to god’s word and live as required by him.

 3. Serving others with love: The Bible teaches that women should show love and compassion to others, as exemplified by the Proverbs 31 woman who cared for her family and extended kindness to those in need (Proverbs 31:20).

 4. Seeking wisdom and guidance from God: Similar to the case where the ‘wise woman’ of Tekoa goes to seek the counsel of God in 2 Samuel 14; 2: Ephesians 5:25, women are advised and encouraged to seek insight and guidance from God on issues that they are facing especially when making choices.

  5. Supporting and encouraging fellow believers: This is built on the fact that based on The Acts 18:24-26 women are supposed to encourage and instruct one another as it was done primarily by Priscilla and Aquilla who taught Apollos on Christianity.

Also there is a tiny story about a woman OLIVIA… 


Who had unwavering faith and belief in God but was experiencing loneliness and rejection from her very own family. During a period of deep loneliness. Being a lonely and helpless woman she begins to pray and finds help in verses from the Holy Scripture. Even though Olivia was lonely and alone she did not lose her faith but was even more confident that even if she is in the desert, God will be with her.

One day, Olivia let out her heart’s desire to God, prayed constantly and felt a sense of peace and assurance wash over her. The scripture that came to her mind then was Psalm 23:4: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for You are with me: Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”  These words gave Olivia the strength to go on alongside and in that moment of vulnerability, God's presence and love sustained her, reminding her that she was never truly alone.

Similarly, in our daily lives we go through loneliness, rejection & many obstacles mentally, physically & in many ways…. but what are we doing during the difficulty phase? 

Let’s examine ourselves once..We see Olivia seeks God when she was lonely and helpless and gets comfort in the prayer and through the scriptures from the Bible. 

Conclusion: 

Similarly, let’s get encouraged through one and another & also as the Bible says a woman's faith should be considered by a deep trust in God, by obeying His commands, by loving one another, seeking wisdom from Him, and supporting fellow believers in their spiritual journeys… let us create a great impact wherever we are.. and let us strive to have faith as god wants us to be and honor god with our prayers & praises.

Salt is understood to be the most preservative mineral which is know for its endurance symbolically. When God makes use of this metaphor, He is urging us to be faithful despite however circumstances appear on the earth because of his word which is absolutely sure like himself. The meaning of a salt covenant is an agreement that is meant to endure regardless of the circumstances. This type of covenant was an ancient symbol of unbreakable friendships and alliances that were to be preserved. Such agreements are solid, unbreakable and everlasting. We see this phrase "covenant of salt" mentioned only three times in the Bible i.e., (Numbers 18:19, 2 Chronicles 13:5 and Leviticus 2 :13 in ESV ).  In some translations it is mentioned as an “ unbreakable covenant ”.  Even though we read about it very few times, This covenant teaches us a lot about how we need to stand firm in every circumstance with faith.  As we know the story of Israllites, Grumbling was a common occurrence during

We make decisions every day in our lives — like minor ones, such as what to eat for breakfast, what dress to wear etc., and major ones, such as whom to marry, which career I need to choose and so on. But we never thought how important it is to take decision on which way we should walk through or which path we should choose, to have eternal life? We have come across narrow way and broad way in the Bible many times and we understand that Narrow way is troublesome and Broad way is so much flexible. Also, we see there are other ways mentioned in the Bible, the ways which we need to follow and the ways which we need to avoid , to enter to the eternal life & to follow Jesus.    The ways which we need to AVOID 1. The way of Lazy (Proverbs 15:19)     The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns, but the path of the upright is a level highway. 2. T he way of Wicked (Proverbs 4:19)      The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble 3.
