o   Personal observations of how this applies to the Christian woman today.

1 Kings 17: 7-16

• The Christian woman will not be surprised when she finds herself with an opportunity to serve others in a specific place at a specific time.  She will simply do what is needed all for the glory of God.

o   In our service to others, us women don’t need to be obsessing about how we can be serving others; we simply need to keep our eyes open for the opportunities to present themselves, and then our focus should be to serve in a way that brings glory to God only.  And while we may be praised for our efforts, our reaction and/or response should always bring glory back to God.

Luke 21: 1-4

• The Christian woman does not boast of her success nor does she groan of her failures.  She simply lives one day at a time in the joy of the LORD.

o   In our service to others, us women need to be content in whatever circumstances we find ourselve in, and believe that God can use us anywhere, anytime; regardless of what anyone else expects.

2 Corinthians 8: 1-15

• The Christian woman does not grow weary in doing good.  Her passion to serve remains fresh and alive in order to be fully used by God and thus give Him all the glory.

o   In our servie to others, we need to be energetic and ready when we see a need, to be available to help meet that need, so that others may be blessed by God.
