It is common for women to become "short-sighted", to get caught up in the "busy-ness" of the day. In spite of all of your "busy-ness" you and the Father should be moving toward the accomplishment of His purpose. There is continually a temptation to focus on the circumstances instead of God's purposes for our lives. Moving with God and knowing His word will help you to focus on your goal and continue in His strength. The Holy spirit is always faithful to point you back to your goal whenever you are tempted to focus on all of your "busy-ness".
Knowing the importance of God's destiny for your life applies to all women in all situations. Whether you are a mother, wife, working woman, single or homemaker, God's destiny should be of the utmost importance to you.
A scripture which illustrates why you must know there is a destiny for you is Phil. 3:12-14. What does it say?
