There is a Difference
Scripture
These are the statues which the Lord commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.
(Numbers 30:16)
Devotional
I understand the emotion of the adage, “Your son is your son until he takes a wife. Your daughter is your daughter for the rest of your life.” There is a difference between a son and a daughter. God has never intended there to be a unisex attitude between a man and a woman. To ignore the God given differences between men and women is not only foolish, but also dangerous. God’s design is not flawed. When we attempt to place man in the position of a woman or a woman in the place of a man, we pervert God’s order. The so-called liberation of women in our day is in reality the bondage of women. Likewise the feminizing of men weakens the stability of the family and society as a whole. When you turn upside-down God’s order, you will have an upside-down confused world. May the Lord restore His order to our families, marriages, churches and society through a right-side-up obedience.
