WOMEN IN DISCIPLESHIP (sm)
WOMEN OF FAITH THE BLESSEDNESS OF BOLDNESS
WEEK TWO
The Daughters of Zelophehad Two Mothers of Solomon's Time
INTRODUCTION
This week we'll look at two very interesting stories of women in judicial circumstances. We'll witness the boldness of the women who went before a patriarchal (male-ruled) system to plead their case. We will examine the Scripture to find what God determined for them and the precedence that was set.
Remember to ask the Lord to teach you as you begin. When you take the time to examine Scripture, you can be assured the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. (John 14:26)
DAY ONE
The Daughters of Zelophehad
- List below what you learn from each of these references about the daughters of Zelophehad.
Numbers 26:33
Numbers 27:1-4
Numbers 36:1-12
- From Numbers 27:1-4, describe the scene at the doorway to the tent of meeting. Who was present?
Write your thoughts about the boldness required for these daughters to speak.
- What was their legitimate argument from verses 3-4?
- As a refresher, turn to Numbers 16 to learn what the daughters referred to by the company of Korah. What did he do?
- What did Moses do in Numbers 27:5?
LESSONS AND APPLICATIONS
- God listens to His people. Is there something in your life right now that you are asking God about or a complaint you are wrestling with?
- God's commands are for our good. How eager are you to obey the commands of God? Do you believe they are for your good?
- Moses knew who to ask for wisdom. When you're asked for advice, who do you turn to before you respond? Have you learned to pray about it first?
