“For Adam was first formed then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression” (2 Timothy 2:13-14).
This is a continuation of yesterday’s thoughts. There are reasons you may not always remember to have a quiet spirit. It is not a sign of weakness or wanting to fade in the background with the ministries of the church. There are some women who want to take charge and even control the work of the church. This was certainly true as Paul wrote to Timothy. He instructed this young preacher how to best handle those who would seek to run things in the church. It is essential for us to understand the order of creation and how easily deceived women can be when out of the will of God. Thanks be to God, in spite of woman’s part in the original sin, she isn’t without hope. God’s grace is extended to both men and women. With gratitude we should be willing to surrender all to Him. Even when we fail to understand God’s plan, we should be willing to trust Him in spite of that.
