Women of
Courage – Anna – April 19, 2014
We continue Question
4 – How was Anna like or unlike the 5 women prophetesses?
We began by
reading 2 Kings 22:1-20
The strong
words declared through Huldah that young King Josiah tore his robe as he
realized that the Israelites had turned away from God. God sent the strong words of Israel’s fate
and let the king know that he would be buried before this took place. He would not see the destruction. This is a
picture of what is happening in America and the world. Idol worship, self-worship and degradation
fills our world. We should listen to the
words of the Lord as if he is speaking directly to us all.
Why was Huldah recognized as the true prophet
of God. Where were the other prophets? We
should be speaking up for our God. What
is holding us back?
What is the
comparison with Anna? Anna and Huldah
definitely knew God’s word. Both knew the prophecies and had God in her heart. Huldah knew that the judgment was coming and
would affect all in the land, including her family. God chose these women to proclaim the words
of the Lord. God did not randomly choose
either woman, they were foreordained to proclaim these messages. They had to have humility and only lifted
their voice to glorify God.
We will be
looking in the next few weeks:
Are there
any coincidences for a Christian? What evidence have you seen in your own life
that God is in control of all chance encounters?
