Book Beginning
While reading through the Book of Ruth, I was struck with Boaz's praise of Ruth: "And now my daughter, do not fear. I will do for you whatever you ask, for all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence." (Ruth 3:11)
The Friday #56
"If only Eve had sought the counsel of God. If only I would take the time to ask God's thoughts concerning my decisions."
My Thoughts
This is a motivating Bible study to discover what you should be striving for as you look to God's excellence as a model. Cynthia Heald challenges women to become women of excellence, freedom, purpose, prayer, and grace through this book. If you're hungry for God's perspective on success in a society that bombards you with conflicting demands, feed on the truths of God's word that you'll discover here. You will not only learn to 'approve things that are excellent," but will experience the joy of becoming God's woman of excellence.
5/5 stars.
Becoming A Woman Of Excellence
Skywatch Friday
Oh, my goodness... This is my view overlooking our quiet little town. The majestic cloud at dusk just warms and comforts my heart... I'm at peace and all is well with my soul!
Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies everywhere!
Blessings,
