“And
Miriam took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her.”
Ex. 15:20
Praise God for women who are active
in the church! I am not sure I have an accurate count of all the women’s groups
we have in our church that are actively serving Christ in a variety of ways. Some
have taken up needles instead of timbrels and are aiding the needy in our
community and around the world with their gifts. Some have taken up cooking
pots instead of timbrels and are helping to spread God’s word while feeding the
hungry. All of the women’s groups are praising God in one manner or other with
the things they have set their hands to do.
God doesn’t demand that women hide
under cloaked veils in order to worship Him. He adds to Scripture this account
of Miriam spontaneously leading other women to publicly proclaim the glory of
God. God values the input of women into the ministries of His church. We should
praise God for their activities and their devotion to their Savior.
Dear Father, Support with your grace
the ministries of the women in our churches. Amen.
