Hagar

 Good Afternoon All,  The woman that we will concentrate on this week is Hagar. Hagar story is one that can apply to even today's time. Hagar was the Egyptian maid servant of Sarai. Sarai then gave Hagar to her husband to sleep with to have a child on her behalf. Hagar was then pregnant by Abram and then was kicked out by her master Sarai. Then when she ran away from Sara and met an angel of the LORD. The angle of the LORD then gave her a promise regarding her son. She was also told the name of her son which was Ishmael. Hagar then returned back to Sarai and had her son. Sarah then gave birth to her son Isacc. Once Isaac was born Hagar and her son was kicked out by Sarah.

Sarah

Hey,  The second woman of the bible we are going to talk about is Sarai/Sarah. Sarai was Sarah's name before her name was changed. We are first introduced to Sara as the wife of Abram, who was barren and both of them were making their way to Cannan (Genesis 11:29-31). The next time we read about Sarai is when her husband Abram asks her to say that she is his sister and not his wife less he would be killed because of her beauty (Genesis 12:12-13). Then once they were in Egypt the Pharoah took her and placed her in his house. As a result of this the LORD plagued Pharoah's house. Sarai was then returned to her husband Abram and they went their way (Genesis 12:17-20). The next time we read about Sarai was when she was telling her husband to sleep with her maid servant Hagar.

EVE

 Greetings,  The first woman we are going to look at in the bible is EVE. Eve story takes place in the book of Genesis end of Chapter 2 -3. Eve reason or being for creation was to be a help meet for Adam. God caused a deep sleep to come on Adam. God then took a rib from Adam and made the woman. Then God brought the woman to Adam. Adam called her woman because she came from Adam. This a reason why a man will leave his mother and father to cleave to his wife and become one flesh. (Genesis 2:20-24,KJV). Then in the next chapter the woman then meets the serpent. The woman is then tricked by the serpent to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Then the woman gave the fruit to Adam her husband to have some as well. Then both of their eyes were open and they knew both good and evil. God then came into the garden and they were punished. As a result of eating the fruit the woman's punishment would be pain in childbirth and a desire for her husband but he would rule over her....

Welcome

 Good Day Everyone,  The point of this blog is to make connections between the everyday woman and the bible. To help bring a closer relationship to God. To help realize that what women are facing today are not so different from those in the bible. Yes the situation maybe different since the time of the women in the bible. The thing that is the same is the fact that we can apply ourselves to those situations and learn something. Not only learn about them but also learn something new that we can do in our everyday lives. To help improve and to better ourselves as women and to prosper in ways that brings glory, and praise to God. While at the same time having the bible bring us peace while we wait to get the answers that we ask God. Hope you enjoy the journey with us and tell a friend to read along.
