Faint Not

Galations 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing, for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.

If you are new to homemaking and finding the task sometimes overwhelming, there are several Bible women who would inspire you. These women displayed extraordinary courage in the face of danger: Esther, Deborah, and Abigail. Ignoring the risk to themselves, they went ahead and did the right thing. "If I die, I die," declared Esther. These historical accounts have not been related to you for nothing. These women were courageous, faithful and obedienct to the will of God.

Our own duties at home--those of being organized, productive, and on time, seem minute, compared to the courageous examples of these women of the Bible. Their example makes our problems seem small. If they could summon the strength to do unpleasant jobs, then surely we can tackle the job at hand and get it done.
