As evident in this course, the Bible introduces us to several women whose lives provide important lessons as God uses them to reveal certain truths. Some of the women studied in this class include Eve/Original Sin, Sarah, Sarah & Hagar, Rebecca, Leah & Rachel, Ruth & Naomi, Bathsheba, Tamar, Esther & Song of Songs, Delilah & Jezebel, Deborah & Jael, and Rahab & Daughters. Each of these women provides valuable lessons that can be imitated as God took them through different experiences throughout their lives.

When we don’t trust in God, we end up creating and following our own plans, which do not work out. Our plans can sometimes be a cause of problems that are passed down to other generations.

While the fate of Delilah is unknown, Jezebel’s actions ended up causing her a painful death in which she was thrown from a window and most of her body devoured by dogs.

As shown in the case of Deborah & Jael, some of the women in the Bible teaches us the importance of acting on opportunities that God brings our way. Jael took advantage of the God-given opportunity and used available resources (Martin par, 10). Rahab also demonstrates the significance of taking advantage of God’s opportunity….....
