From the beginning of time on earth, there has always been a great mystery between men and women. Dr. John Gray’s teaching series Men are From Mars; Women are from Venus tries to unravel these differences for couples. However, there are certain things that will never been understood by the opposite sex. Thus, woman will continue voicing their concerns, wanting to be heard while men tend to fix and solve problems, usually remaining oblivious to a woman’s true feelings.
Recently, God has been teaching me about a woman’s intuition. Although, hesitant at first, my wife Leanne often has an inkling, instinct and sixth sense that tends to come to fruition. Her perception is similar to that displayed by Pontus Pilate’s wife in Matthew 27:19. Though God designed husband’s to be the head of their home, over his wife according to Ephesians 5:22-24, woman were created with this special feeling deep within their soul. Unfortunately, like a typical man, warnings go unheard as Pilate gave into the cries of the riotous crowd, neglecting his wife’s sixth sense, being warned in a dream, Matthew 27:20.
A Canaanite woman also possessed this quality, a hunch that she followed by faith in Matthew 15:21-28. Despite her status, being a Gentile, born outside of the nation of Israel, God instilled in her a strong motherly instinct. When a child is in danger, helpless or ill, an adrenaline rush often kicks in energizing woman. In the case of her inflicted daughter, this outsider refused to take no for an answer, begging and pleading with Jesus. Rewarded by her perseverance, a woman’s intuition brought her to the right place at the right time to the only One who could answer her prayer. Listen and learn!
