Your Garden

A true woman says "Yes, Lord."

She believes that God's purposes for creating male and female are good and wise.

Here are some truths:

• We are created in the image of God.  We are His little statues. (Genesis 1:26-27)
• We were created to be queen: to rule over the earth. (Genesis 1:26-27) Please read yesterday blog, so that I am not taken out of context.
• We were created to be productive and subdue. (Genesis 1:28)

We may not have the unique position that Eve did in her garden,  nonetheless, we must be productive in the "garden" that we have been placed.  We must rule and have domain over our garden.  We must subdue it.  Depending on our season of life, each one's garden will be unique and look differently than the other, so don't try to compare.  Let me give you a definition for each of the mandates that woman has been given.

• Rule- make decisions regarding a matter's course and destiny
• Subdue- bring under control by conquest and maintain control by diligent maintenance.
• Produce/fruitful- create value by multiplying, filling, and expanding in every area of life.

Tomorrow we will see how when we obey His purpose for our lives it is good and wise and brings glory to Him.
