What the world needs (Woman's month)



The world is not in need of women that are fluent in English or eloquent in speech.The world is in need of women whose speech is filled with grace,kindness,and purity.The world is need of women who are  soft-spoken,whose words are like “apples of gold”.The world is need of women who do not speak harshly but are ever sensitive to the feelings of others. Abigail was one of a kind (1 Samuel 25) and the world is need of more ladies like her.God will impart such words even to us,if only we ask and act according to our prayers.SOP comments concerning 1 Samuel 25 and her speech:

These words could have come only from the lips of one who had partaken of the wisdom from above.
The piety of Abigail, like the fragrance of a flower, breathed out all unconsciously in face and word
and action. The Spirit of the Son of God was abiding in her soul. Her speech, seasoned with grace, and
full of kindness and peace, shed a heavenly influence. Better impulses came to David, and he trembled
as he thought what might have been the consequences of his rash purpose. "Blessed are the
peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9. Would that there were many
more like this woman of Israel, who would soothe the irritated feelings, prevent rash impulses, and
quell great evils by words of calm and well-directed wisdom.

A consecrated Christian life is ever shedding light and comfort and peace. It is characterized by purity,
tact, simplicity, and usefulness. It is controlled by that unselfish love that sanctifies the influence. It is
full of Christ, and leaves a track of light wherever its possessor may go. Abigail was a wise reprover
and counselor. David's passion died away under the power of her influence and reasoning. He was
convinced that he had taken an unwise course and had lost control of his own spirit.”~Prophets and Kings,Chapter 64,p.667
