Sunday, October 26

God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones.—Jas. 4:6.

 

The Bible mentions many remarkable women who loved Jehovah and served him. They were “moderate in habits” and “faithful in all things.” (1 Tim. 3:11) In addition, sisters can find in their own congregation examples of mature Christian women who are worthy of imitation. Young sisters, why not identify a few mature Christian women you know whose example you can imitate? Note their appealing qualities; then consider how you can manifest them. An important aspect of Christian maturity is humility. If a woman is humble, she will enjoy a good relationship with Jehovah and with others. For example, a woman who loves Jehovah humbly chooses to support the principle of headship that her heavenly Father established. (1 Cor. 11:3) That principle has specific applications in the congregation and in the family arrangement. w23.12 18-19 ¶3-5

Mature Christian women don’t need titles to shine — their quiet strength does that for them. The Bible’s record of faithful women shows the kind of beauty Jehovah values: balanced, steady, faithful in all things. Young sisters can find that same example today in the congregation — women who live their humility instead of talking about it. That kind of grace doesn’t draw attention; it draws respect, and it keeps Jehovah close.
