Myths women believe
Reading: Gen 29:30,32,33,34; 30:8,20
“She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons has become feeble” (1 Sam 2:5)
The third myth that women lament about is —
3. I am stymied by oppression.
No, you are not. No external force can stymie you. The Bible has some funny philosophies like, when you are weak then you are strong. Saul the little became a mighty apostle; Esther, a delicate girl turned history; when the Hebrews were oppressed they thrived like mushroom spores; if you submit you’ll be exalted. These are contrary to what we believe. Husband, in-laws, parents, peers, boss or anyone may continually badger you. You can either retaliate or bless them.
The Sermon on the Mount explains the paradoxes of the Kingdom of God. If you are poor in spirit, yours is the kingdom of God; not when you valiantly fight for it. When you mourn, you will be comforted; not when you root out the cause for your sorrow. The meek shall inherit the earth, not those who trample on the heads of others (Mt 5:3-5). In my own experience I have learned that when I don’t fight my battles, God does it for me.
You may be pushed down, ignored, cast out. Don’t worry. When the Lord saw that Leah was hurt and humiliated, He opened her womb and chose her as the foremother of Jesus and bolstered her morale. He hears not only the cries (Gen 21:17) but also the groans (Ex 2:24). Instead of fighting, bless those who oppress you. You’ll see wonderful results. Allowing hatred and violence to seethe within will only damage your insides. “You can do all things, no plan of yours can be thwarted” (Job 42:2). No one can do anything to thwart God’s plans for you. Talk to God, talk to yourself and turn to the Scriptures. Satan will turn you on; shoo him away.
However you should appraise any situation to see if you are drowning in selfpity or if you have tried your best to rise up and shine or if you have failed to be assertive. No one should allow herself to be emotionally or physically bullied by nasty people. Every person has the right to personal dignity and no one has the right to push you around. Flashes of insight that long experience gives will teach you when to lie low and when to be assertive.
The sorrowing Hannah started to sing; her sick uterus became sound. So rejoice and go in the stength you have!
