โWho can find a virtuous woman? Her value surpasses pearls.โ (Proverbs 31:10) ๐๐๏ธ
Today, think about Godโs view of a woman, her immeasurable value, and the calling that, as Scripture points out, was established in the Divine hierarchy.
From the beginning of creation, Scripture establishes an order. In the Book of Genesis 2:18 we read: โThen the LORD God said: โIt is not good for the man to be alone; I will make a helper suitable for him.โโ The woman was created as the perfect complement for the man, as his โhelper suitable for him,โ who is to support him and cooperate with him in the established order. This relationship leads to unity, about which Genesis 2:24 says: โTherefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.โ This unity also includes intimate marital union, which is part of Godโs plan for marriage, according to His intention.
The apostle Paul, addressing matters of the relationship between women and men, presents Godโs hierarchy clearly. In 1 Corinthians 7:4 he emphasizes reciprocity in the bodily sphere in marriage: โThe wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband; likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife.โ However, this takes place in the context of a broader order. Paul clearly teaches about submission in marriage, and 1 Peter (3:5โ6) provides Sarah as an example of obedience to Abraham, calling him โlord,โ which is a pattern of biblical submission of a wife to her husband. Paul also calls for order in relationships between the Church and the family, and his teaching in the Epistles emphasizes this distinction of roles. It is worth noting that in the context of the times in which we live, when many men decide on living alone, Yeshu says: โIf such is the situation of a man with a woman, then it is not worth marrying.โ (Matthew 19:10). Notice that the โcardโ which men used to use to subordinate women has been taken away, which is used by Satan to turn Godโs harmony upside down. Moreover, in 1 Corinthians 7, Paul also notes that for some, being single can be a path to devoting oneself more fully to the Lord, without the worries connected with marriageโwhich is also a gift from God.
Feminist approach as a reversal of Godโs commands โ Satanโs plan
Contemporary movements such as feminism are seen as movements which, under the guise of striving for equality, in reality undermine the biblical roles and values assigned to women and men in marriage and family, rejecting the hierarchy established by God. Rejecting biblical roles, mutual submission in love, and the natural order, is an element of Satanโs plan of depravity and breaking apart divine harmony, leading to confusion and sufferingโnot only for women, but also for men. To be clear: women who do not cooperate with their husband do not achieve happiness and fulfillment, because they act against the instruction given by the Creator to human beings.
Woman, the road God created for you does not humiliate you! On the contraryโit fulfills you and enriches you. Your value, as Proverbs says, may surpass pearls! You are wise, capable, and irreplaceable in Godโs plan. Accepting Godโs purpose for your life is finding true strength, fulfillment, and joy. It is a path that makes your life not only better for you yourself, but also a blessing for your husband, children, and the entire family. By fulfilling your calling from Godโs perspective, you become a supportโnot only for your husband, but for the whole familyโbringing peace and harmony.
