A Good Woman...

First...I have to say that I am not a -true- misogynist...there are still some females that I respect. They just happen to almost all be in my family :P But seriously...having relationship issues and there are some things that I think this generation needs to realize. "A good name is better than precious ointment..." (Eccle 7:1). So, I'm feeling all self-righteous and then I keep reading... "(For) There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not" (Eccl 7:20) so...I am part to blame, as well. Which means that I need to get off of my high horse and acknowledge that, already.

I do know that what I could really use in my life is A Good Woman. Unfortunately, I am at an impasse. "...one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found" (Eccl 7:28). And thus, the source of my Conundrum. "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31)...I think I can wait. That's all that this post is about. Finding the strength to wait. Abram (Abraham) and Sarai (Sarah) were promised a child by God...they didn't wait and their blunder resulted in the war between Arabs and Jews that stretches to this day (the story of Abram and Sarai's impatience can be found in Genesis 16). Man's biggest mistakes seem to be behind a female...perhaps finding the right one is one of the most important things that you could do. In the end, the wait, and possible loneliness, are both worth missing out on the pain of finding the -wrong- one. True story. So...to those that are still looking, of any age, I encourage you to continue to wait on the Lord. Seek His face and resolution sure, but wait on Him and His time...and there is a time for -everything- (Eccl 3:1)
