God opposes the arrogant, but shows undeserved kindness to the humble (James 4:6).

The Bible highlights the good example of many women who served Jehovah and loved him. They were “moderate in their behavior and faithful in all things” (1 Tim. 3:11). If you are a young sister, there are surely many spiritually mature sisters in your congregation from whom you can learn a lot. Think of some who are good examples for you and make it your goal to imitate them. To do this, notice their good qualities and then consider how you could cultivate them yourself.

A humble woman enjoys a good friendship with Jehovah and gets along well with others. For example, because she is humble and loves her heavenly Father, she chooses to support the principle of authority He created to determine who should lead the congregation and the family. (1 Cor. 11:3)

How can young sisters imitate Rebekah's humility?

Let's talk about Rebekah. She was an intelligent and determined woman who knew when and how to act (Gen. 24:58; 27:5-17). But she was also respectful and obedient (Gen. 24:17, 18, 65). If you, like Rebekah, are humble and respect the principle of authority, you will be a positive influence on your family and the congregation.

How can young sisters imitate Esther's modesty?

Modesty. The Bible says that “wisdom is with the modest” (Prov. 11:2). Esther was a faithful servant of God who demonstrated this quality. For example, when she was made queen, she didn't let it go to her head. Furthermore, she listened to and followed the advice given by her cousin Mordecai (Esther 2:10, 20, 22). You can imitate her example of modesty by asking for good advice and following it (Titus 2:3-5).

In choosing their dress and grooming, how can sisters follow the advice of 1 Timothy 2:9, 10?

Let's look at another way Esther demonstrated modesty. She “was very attractive and had a beautiful figure,” but she didn't try to be the center of attention (Esther 2:7, 15). How can you follow her example? One way is explained in 1 Timothy 2:9, 10 (read it). Here the apostle Paul tells the sisters to dress modestly and with good judgment. The Greek words he used indicate that Christians should dress decently and take into account the feelings of others. How proud we are of sisters who demonstrate their maturity by their dress!

What do we learn from Abigail?

Discernment. This quality is the same as sound judgment—the ability to differentiate between right and wrong and then do what is right. Consider the example of Abigail. Her husband made a very bad decision, and she realized it would have disastrous consequences for everyone in her house. Abigail acted immediately, and thanks to her sound judgment, many lives were saved (1 Sam. 25:14–23, 32–35). Discernment also helps us know when to speak and when to remain silent, and to show interest in others without making them uncomfortable (1 Thess. 4:11).
