If I could take from all of the great man God has created and re-create the man perfect for me, there are a few man in the Bible I would take certain attributes from.
First Job, no matter how bad things got in his life he trusted God with his whole heart even when hit with back-to-back losses in life, his faith remained his focal point. Second Solomon, the wisest man in the Bible for I love an intellectually stimulating man and someone I can learn from. King David wise beyond his years, utilized common sense. Jacob, when I tell him about my dreams he won't see me as crazy but will help me interpret the meaning behind them. Noah, a man who is good with his hands. Of course Boaz, a man who will inquire about me, reach out to assist me without me, knowing and without me asking. Let me not leave out Moses. The man who realized where he came from and dedicated his life to helping his own.
In return I will display the attributes of Candace strong within my own rite, leadership qualities. Esther the ideal wife willing to risk it all for the safety of our people. Vashi one never to be taken advantage of and willing to walk away from it all keeping her dignity intact. When she walks away from a bad situation she will still have the respect of the one she walks away from(that's how I interpreted that situation, he was supposed to kill her). I would never be like Sarah and laugh at a messenger from God. Nor like Delilah using my feminine ways to deceive a man who has given me his whole heart and definitely not like Lot's wife. I am willing to listen and follow you provided that YOU are following the right leader.
The bible is not outdated , the more you read the more you discover how it relates to your life.
Just a thought.........
