For the next while, I will be taking snapshots of women found in the Bible – women who experienced the same problems as those that modern day women face. King Solomon, in Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 says these words: “That which has been is what will be, that which is done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which it may be said, “See, this is new”? It has already been in ancient times before us”.
We are standing on the threshold of a new year. We are peering out of the end of the year 2010, and facing a new land called 2011. Listen to the Word of God: “Be strong, and go in and posses the land. Prolong your days in the land which the Lord swore to give . . . . For the land which you go to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden. But the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water from the rain of heaven. A land for which the Lord your God cares, the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the very end of the year.” (Deuteronomy 11:8-12)
