We live in a society today that shows no interest in encouraging or rewarding a godly young lady for trying to live their life how God would truly have them. 

Today I would like to bring to your attention 5 Things Every Godly Young Lady Should Practice In Today’s Modern Society.

#1 Practice for a Godly Young Lady

Courage:  We all know it is not all easy days and there is going to be a lot of times where we as a godly young lady will be tested in our faith and will be tempted to wonder what would it be like if we gave it up?  Have courage and be strong.   God tells us in 1 Chronicles 28:20 “… Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.”  Here it is reminding us that He is with us and He will not fail us with what we are going through.

#2 Practice for a Godly Young Lady

Be Disciplined In Your Bible: When growing up in the 21st century it is very easy to stray away from your bible (speaking from experience). It is very important to be reading it and not only reading it but studying it deeply. The Devil is roaming about like a lion and is looking for who he may find to be weak so be strong in faith and continue to grow. Maybe invest In some commentaries or a booklet with prayers. What I enjoy doing because I love to write is buy a notebook and pens and have that be your “verse book” then when you are studying a verse or a word you look up verses having to do with said word and copying them or a section of them down along with the reference so if the time comes when you are struggling with something you have it right there and you can find encouragement in it.

#3 Practice for a Godly Young Lady

Prayer: Similar to your bible prayer is easily forgotten. Every day we should strive to pray more and more each day. It is so easy to pray when you need it or are caught in a situation where it is convenient, but far to often once it is over we forget to thank God for hearing our prayers and for answering them. The word “pray” is mentioned 313 times in the entire bible so it must be important for God to mention it that many times.                        1 Thessalonians 5:17 says “ Pray without ceasing”. Prayer is how we talk with our creator so the question is shouldn’t we find joy in talking to him whenever we can?

#4 Practice for a Godly Young Lady

Rejoicing Always: (1 Thessalonians 5:16) I know some people may question this one but when you really think about it do we really realize how much our attitude and action influence people? As a godly young lady we have plenty of opportunities to be great influences on little girls looking up to us wanting to have someone to grow up just like and see as a mentor. Rejoicing is a great way to be a godly influence. “Rejoicing always” does not mean you never have issues and you don’t go through things but I believe it is how we handle those instances. Be someone that a little girl growing up wanting to be a godly young lady can see when something hard comes along you are the one to be looking to Christ and trusting in him for true joy.

#5 Practice for a Godly Young Lady 

Guard Your Heart: (Proverbs 4:23) “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” Your heart is the most precious thing God has given you; It is a blessing and a tool. Your heart is a tool from God to help us discern when things come our way. It is important our decisions are pure choices and not corrupted by this world. Just like a normal water filter would catch the germs and dirt and only let the clean, pure water through so it is with our hearts. Living in this world you can’t help but be exposed to the “garbage” and “junk” we see and hear. If we are keeping our hearts clean and pure then we will properly be able to filter it and then thereby live our lives in that manner and carry ourselves in such a way.

As you read these words remember God is the one watching over you and he is always there even when it may not feel like he is. I hope these words will encourage you in being a godly young lady for Christ! Continue to fight the good fight and walk boldly towards Christ!
