Content with Your Own Cattle

6/27/2022

 
by Emily
from Virtuous Daughters, February 2007~Volume 6, Number 11

It is God’s will that we be content with everything that He has given or not given us. It is Satan’s goal to do everything he can to make us discontent with what God has given or not given.

Batten Down the Hatches of Your Mind

6/20/2022

 
by Kristin
from Virtuous Daughters, June 2011~Volume 11, Number 3

“Storm’s brewing, Sir!” The lookout cried from above. “Nor ‘easter. She’s going to be a bad ‘un!”

“Aye!” the captain replied. The wind was already picking up. He could tell the lookout was right. “All hands to yer stations!” he cried. “Batten down the hatches, if you please!”


“Aye, sir!” The hands scrambled to nail down the openings. If water were allowed below, the ship would be in trouble. The captain knew from experience; this storm would produce mighty swells, maybe fifty-footers. The ship would pitch and groan under the force of the water, which would seek the lowest point of the ship. It would seek in vain, though, for the men were hard at work battening down the hatches. However, the captain had another concern.


​“Look sharp, man!” he called to the lookout. “Lash yourself to the mast. We’re in enemy waters . . .”

Bible Reading*

by Brianna
from Virtuous Daughters, November 2002~Volume 2, Number 8

Dear Sisters,

I​ would like to share with you my experiences in daily Bible reading. About four years ago (I was 10), my dad bought me a “Read the Bible through a year” Bible. I was very excited about starting, so the next week which was now New Years (how convenient :)) I began the long process in God’s Word which is bringing me closer to Him than ever. I have now read the Bible through three times and am working on my fourth year. The Lord has taught me soo much in my 5-10 minutes I spend with Him daily.

It's Time to Start Drafting Your Epitaph

4/18/2022

 
"Waiting on the Lord" Series
by Aaress
from Virtuous Daughters, October 2015~Volume 15, Number 7
After you breathe your last breath, two things happen.

First, if you are a Christian, you will be welcomed into the arms of a loving Heavenly Father who has been waiting for your arrival. Second, your family will start trying to sum up your life by writing the epitaph for your tombstone.

And they may have to do it in just one sentence. One sentence to describe your achievements. Your victories. Your joys and maybe even your sorrows. It is a chance to tell what made you YOU. A chance to leave a legacy in stone that will stand the test of time.

One sentence to describe what you did with the life God gave you.

If you died tomorrow, what do you think it would say?

​Stop reading for a moment and think about that. What does it say now? What do you want it to say?

Maintaining a Vision for Our Future Family

3/21/2022

 
"Waiting on the Lord" Series
by Emily M.
from Virtuous Daughters, October 2016~Volume 16, Number 7

It can be challenging to maintain a cheerful attitude and a vision for a future family when that future family seems so elusive. If you’re like me, the prospect of marriage may appear slim. Mr. Right isn’t around and he’s not even on the horizon or over the horizon. It’s easy to wonder if he died at birth and the possibility of becoming an old, grouchy spinster continues to loom bigger and bigger. While your friends get married and raise their children, you are still waiting and waiting, and waiting some more. Your overflowing Hope Chest becomes more of a Hopeless Chest and you wonder if life has passed you by.

Broken to be Transformed

3/7/2022

 
"Waiting on the Lord" Series
by Sarah B.
from Virtuous Daughters, April 2017~Volume 17, Number 1

“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 13:12)
 
True words indeed! The shattered remains of once-beautiful hopes...the memories of things past...the crushing grief of an arrow that pierced our tenderest and dearest desire (Lamentations 3:12). The path seems so painful and narrow that we can barely breath (Lamentations 3:7). Will the pain of this dark night ever pass?

Love. Truly.

"Waiting on the Lord" Series

from Virtuous Daughters, February 2017~Volume 16, Number 11

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." I Corinthians 3:1-3

Keeping Christ as Our First Love

2/7/2022

 
by Tiffany S.
from Virtuous Daughters, October 2017~Volume 17, Number 4

“Take my love, dear Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.”

​I have sung those lines time and time again. The words are beautiful, and I long for them to be more than just a sentiment; my prayer is that they would ring true in my life. In this article, I would like to share a few thoughts regarding keeping Christ as our “First Love” (see Revelation 2:1-5). We are most fulfilled  when Christ is our All (Psalm 107:9). I hope these things I am learning in my own journey can be an encouragement to you, dear sisters in Christ.
