Woman

“And God made woman….”, or a similar phrase is at the front of most, if not all, versions of the Bible. I was sent an unattributed meme about woman, and found the message interesting—and appropriate for men. It said; 

Woman

was made from the rib of a man.

not from his head to top him,

nor his foot to be stepped on by him,

but from his side to be equal to him,

under his arm to be protected by him,

and near his heart to be loved by him. 

Some men have some pretty awful beliefs or thoughts about women don’t they? Those thoughts might not be obvious.  They may view them as subservient, as sex objects, as second class, as “property”, or worse. God made women as equals. He didn’t make them so Adam could have a sex object or a servant to serve him.

If we, as Christian men, look at all women in our lives as anything but our equals, we have a problem, don’t we? How God honoring is that?

Bottom Line Thought: Does your worldview of women line up with your spiritual view of women?
