Holy Women Who Hope in God
A Short Excerpt from This Momentary Marriage (pp. 97) by John Piper:
“She looks away from the troubles and miseries and obstacles of life that seem to make the future bleak, and she focuses her attention on the sovereign power and love of God who rules in heaven and does on earth whatever he pleases (Ps. 115:3). She knows her Bible, and she knows her theology of the sovereignty of God, and she knows his promise that he will be with her and will help her and strengthen her no matter what. This is the deep, unshakable root of Christian womanhood. And Peter makes it explicit in 1 Peter 3:5. He is not talking about just any woman. He is talking about women with unshakable biblical roots in the sovereign goodness of God—holy women who hope in God.”
If only the evangelical population of women believed and lived this out what a revival that would be for marriages and families around the world. What a great definition of biblical womanhood.
This is an excellent book, and not just for women, but men, too. I have read this and would actually like to revisit it again.
