Word Wednesday

Today is officially “Word Wednesday” otherwise known as “Hump Day.” We’ve made it half way through yet another week on the wonderful, exciting and bumpy road of motherhood. Therefore, some of us are looking for some encouraging words to make it through the rest of the week with Joy and Peace. Every night before my son goes to bed, in addition to reading bible stories, I read him a passage out of “Prayers That Avail Much, First Blessings for Your Child” by Germaine Copeland. Mommies we have to keep our children prayed up and constantly put Gods word in their hearts.

Yesterdays passage read, “May you always listen for God’s voice in everything you do and everywhere you go. I trust the Lord to keep you on track.” I thought this was a remarkable prayer to pray over our kids. Boy oh boy, if I had started listening to God’s voice at an early age, life would have been a lot different for me. Please don’t misunderstand me; I am so very grateful for the ways in which God has blessed me. Although, I do sometimes wonder how much pain and heartache would have been spared if I had listened to God’s voice in everything and everywhere starting as a young child. See we must teach our children to KNOW the voice of God. There are so many deceptive “voices” that will come their way and if they don’t know how to rightly discern what’s God and what’s not, that could be very dangerous. The knowledge that they will need to succeed in all things can be received through Godly discernment. “The mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.” (Proverbs 14:6). So let’s make sure that we are not only teaching our kids to listen, but we must teach them how to listen to Him and only Him.
