"Women of God can never be like women of the world.
The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind.
There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined.
We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith.
We have enough greed; we need more goodness.
We have enough vanity; we need more virtue.
We have enough popularity; we need more purity."

Feast and Famine

These words jumped off the page at me...

"A few heroic 'snipers.'"
Swindoll brings to us the reality of a spiritual famine in the land.  He gives the example of many spiritually strong leaders of days long gone and says, "That once-strong army of valiant and vigorous soldiers seems strangely reduced to mere squads here and there...a few heroic 'snipers'" (p. 78).
So, I ask of you, in regard to the words above, are you one of them?  The only way to change the spiritual famine is to feast upon the word of God and then don't be afraid to share what you know.  
If you're searching for a spiritual giant to lead you, the only sure way to find one is to be the giant  yourself.




If you would like to participate grab a button and share how God is leading you to be A Woman of Noble Character.  This link is open all week, and to all denominations of the Christian faith.
