Recovering the truth in a culture of liesThe very idea of womanhood is under assault. Women are being sexualized by culture, repressed and silenced by much of the church, and minimized and redefined by language. Make no mistake about it: We are at war--for ourselves, our families, and the very lives of our sons and daughters. The question is, why? And with whom are we fighting?While it's tempting to label people as our enemy, our true adversary is far more sinister, working in the shadows to undermine the very essence of womanhood, and with it, the divine image of male and female. Revelation 12 speaks of a dragon who is enraged with the woman and makes war on her children. This is a battle of cosmic proportions requiring heavenly solutions and insight. To win, we must first understand how he works and what he's after. In The Fight for Female, Lisa Bevere pulls back the curtain on what's really going on in this cultural moment, and more importantly, what we can do about it, offering a way forward that transcends familiar talking points and drives us to find God-inspired answers. This is not the time to cower or to compromise. Our marriages, children, churches, communities, and futures depend on us to be up to the task. This is your clarion call. Female is worth fighting for.

Es hora de cambiar la forma en que piensas que Dios piensa acerca de ti. Cuando Dios piensa en ti, no está buscando una razón para descalificarte, repudiarte o juzgarte. Él no está esperando que fracases. ¡Nunca! Él es quien nos redime cuando fallamos, el que nos califica y adopta. Somos nosotros los que nos fijamos en nuestros fracasos, no nuestro Padre. Lo que David escribió en el Salmo 139: 17-18 (NTV) sigue siendo cierto hoy: "Qué preciosos son tus pensamientos acerca de mí, ] oh Dios. ¡No se pueden enumerar! Ni siquiera puedo contarlos; ¡suman más que los granos de la arena! Y cuando despierto, ¡todavía estás conmigo!" No hay un momento, ya sea que estés despierto o dormido, en el que Dios no tenga pensamientos salvajes de amor feroz hacia ti. Todo cambia cuando sabes esto y es importante que nunca más lo dudes. Eres ferozmente amada, bien pensada y profundamente querida. >----- It's time to change the way you think God thinks about you. When God thinks about you, He isn't looking for a reason to disqualify, disown, or judge you. He's not watching for you to fail. Never! He is our qualifying, adopting, and redeeming failsafe. We are the ones who fixate on our failures, not our Father. What David wrote in Psalm 139 is still true today: "How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" (17-18 NLT). There is not a moment whether you are awake or asleep that God is not thinking wild thoughts of fierce love towards you. Everything changes when you know this and it's important for you to never doubt it again. You are fiercely loved, well thought of, and deeply wanted. In this 90-day devotional, New York Times bestselling author Lisa Bevere wants to shift your perspective from the concept of being someone who is merely tolerated to someone who is fiercely loved. Each day explores another facet of our identity, truth, and God's intimate connection with His children.

God doesn't just tolerate you; he loves you and wants you to know his wild thoughts toward you are full of love, joy, grace, and mercy. The psalmist David realized this when he wrote Psalm 139: "How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand." God loves you--fiercely. In times of uncertainty, we need some pillars we can build our lives on. You are loved. You are welcomed. You are wanted.
