After hearing this from the Lord, in my minds eye I saw a cave. I looked closer and many women were in it, too many. And they were afraid to come out. Some felt content to stay, because the cave was indeed, their place of service. Poured guilt upon themselves.
Lets take a quick look at just of a few of the better known women who ventured out beyond the cave.
Think of Deborah. She was a prophetess and a judge. She was a married woman who had a day job outside her home. Deborah judged a nation. I don't know what kind of job her husband had, but the nation came to his wife for rulings.
