He created a man and a woman. If you read the creation story in Genesis 3 you see that He immediately established purposes for man and woman to fulfill. It isn’t an accident that you were born exactly as you are. Psalm 139 speaks to the topic explaining that even while you were secretly forming in your mother’s womb, God was forming, shaping and planning specific details of your life.
Life can become so confusing sometimes. But know this truth… God created you with the life, the body, the temperament, personality and talents He specifically purposed for your life.
The world needs more manly men to rise up and be the man God intended them to be. The world also needs Godly women to to be the woman He purposed them to be. There is nothing wrong with a man being distinctively masculine and a woman being distinctively feminine… there is nothing wrong with it at all.
If I can speak to the topic of manhood here, I want to give a challenge to young men to commit yourself to owning your faith, embracing your manhood and committing yourself to be a man of courage, a man of bravery, a man who will be counted on some day to be a spiritual leader to your family and provide and protect them with every fiber of your being. And girls… look for a man like that and you will be forever grateful for his care and leadership in your life and family.
It’s not easy to go against the grain of culture, peer pressure and opinions of the masses, but with God’s help and power you can be the man and woman God calls you to be.
Wisdom from Psalm 1
- Do Not Live Your Life Seeking Advice from People Who Don’t Follow God.
Verse 1, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
- Commit Yourself 100% to Reading and Obeying the Bible.
Verse 2, But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
- Find Your Strength in God and Rely on Him, Not Yourself to Bring Success.
Verse 3, And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
- Understand That if Your Life is Not Anchored in God, Eventually You Will Experience Massive Instability.
Verse 4, The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
- Believe that God is on the Throne and He is the Judge, So Obey Him Now and Fulfil His Plan for Someday We Will Wish to God We Had.
Verse 5-6, Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
