Have you ever read Matthew 1? It's the genealogy of Jesus. Not exactly the most inspiring verses of the Bible (is that wrong to say?). That's why I was a disappointed to find Matthew 1 as my daily reading on the first day of my fast. I knew God was going to challenge me through this fast, but I didn't expect it to begin with genealogy. Yet this is what I found. . .
There amongst forty-two generations of fathers and sons, were five women: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Uriah's wife, and Mary. I couldn't help but wonder, what did these women do to make the family tree? I knew they must have done something significant to gain mention, but I was surprised to discover how different, yet inspiring, each of their stories was.
To be continued . . .
Can't wait to hear what you find out about these women! :)
