Good Women Behaving Badly
A spiteful employer, a defiant staff, a manipulative mom, a anxious housewife, an envious sister…honey, we know these women. We’ve lived with them, worked with them, or trapped a glimpse of these inside our mirrors.
Now let’s check out their early counterparts in Scripture: Sarah mistreated her maidservant, Hagar despised her mistress, Rebekah manipulated her child, Leah said her sister’s husband, and Rachel envied her fertile sister.
They were far from evil, but hardly perfect. Largely good, yet just a bit bad. In other words, these matriarchal mamas look nearly the same as us.
“A Slightly Bad Girl is simply this: a woman unwilling to totally submit to God. We love him, provide him, and worship him, yet we find it hard to trust him completely, to accept his plan for our lives, to rest in his sovereignty.” —from Marginally Bad Ladies of the Bible
