Why Christian Women Need to Seek the Counsel of Godly Women
In today's world, it can be difficult to know who to turn to for advice and guidance. Everywhere we turn, we are bombarded with conflicting messages about what we should do, how we should live, and what will bring us happiness and fulfillment. As Christian women, it is important that we seek out the wisdom and advice of godly women and surround ourselves with their influence, rather than listening to the voices of the world.
Here are some reasons why it's important to seek the counsel of godly women:
They offer a different perspective: The world's advice is often focused on self-promotion, materialism, and individualism. Godly women, on the other hand, offer a perspective that is rooted in God's Word and focused on serving and loving others. They can help us see situations from a different angle and provide insight that we may not have considered otherwise.
They can provide accountability: When we surround ourselves with godly women, we are more likely to be held accountable for our actions and choices. They can help us stay on track and encourage us to live a life that is pleasing to God.
They offer support and encouragement: Life can be challenging, and we all need support and encouragement from time to time. Godly women can provide a listening ear, offer comfort and support, and help us stay focused on God's plan for our lives.
They can be mentors and role models: When we seek out the advice and wisdom of older, more experienced women, we can learn from their example and benefit from their years of experience. They can offer guidance and mentorship as we navigate the challenges of life and seek to grow in our faith.
So, how can we surround ourselves with godly women and seek their advice and wisdom? Here are a few ideas:
Join a Bible study or small group: These settings provide opportunities to connect with other women who are seeking to grow in their faith and offer a supportive community where we can learn from one another. Our church has a wide range of "Connect Groups" where people can get plugged into a church community! I've lead several women's connect group and they were amazing! I loved making new friends and surrounding myself with Jesus-loving women!
Attend women's conferences or retreats: These events offer a chance to hear from experienced speakers and connect with other women who are seeking to deepen their relationship with God.
Find a mentor: Seek out an older, more experienced woman who can offer guidance and support as you navigate the challenges of life. This is vital! There is something beautiful about seeking a mentor that will help you grow in faith and call you out when you're wrong!
Read books and listen to podcasts: There are many resources available that can help us learn from the wisdom of godly women, even if we can't connect with them in person. I'm not a big podcast person, but I think it's because I haven't given them a genuine chance! So if you all have any good ones, drop them down below in the comments. I would love to check them out!
By surrounding ourselves with godly women and seeking their advice and wisdom, we can grow in our faith and live a life that honors God. Let's choose to listen to their voices over the noise of the world and seek to live in a way that brings glory to Him.
xo, Taira!
