Ep 93: Martha, Handicapped by Worry — Unlikely Servants

“I want everything to be perfect, so I worry about getting it all done!”

This is one of nine thematic studies that were written to encourage women to dedicate their lives and work to the Lord, in spite of their own shortcomings. These Biblical women chosen all have “chinks in their armor”… all have been handicapped by something in their lives which might seem to make them unworthy to serve a holy God. However, these women, loved and forgiven, were chosen by the Lord to fulfill a specific purpose for Him.

This devotion is part of the series, Unlikely Servants, written by Lu Garchow, originally published by Lutheran Women's Missionary League.

ENCORE: Serving the Lord as a Mother: Eve — Devotion

This podcast from the devotional series All Along Life's Way was previously posted on March 6, 2020.

Is there a “prime time” for serving the Lord? Many would claim that they are too young. With youth comes “busyness” and there is no extra time to serve the Lord. Others would say that they are too old. With age comes tiredness and certainly, they feel God wouldn’t expect service from someone old and tired! The Bible, however, gives us many examples of women serving the Lord at all ages.

What these women did along life’s way may have been recorded in only a few words, such as the servant girl in Namaan’s household. Other times, an entire book is dedicated to the service of a woman, such as Esther or Ruth. In each case however, God thought their service to be significant enough to have it recorded for posterity in His Holy Word, the Bible.

What can we learn from these women of the Bible, young, old and in-between, whom God called to serve Him in special ways? Beginning with the young, we look at their service “all along life’s way.”

This is devotion 4 of 9 in a devotional series that looks at 9 different women throughout Scripture and how they serve the Lord.
