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.Monday’s passage read, “I thank God for declaring our home blessed—joyful and favored with blessings. May I be a blessing to you, our baby, as I nurture you in the way of the Lord.” This passage prompted me to think about the fact that our homes must to be covered with Gods spirit and peace. We pray over our children and our loved ones, but how often do we pray over our homes? This is the place in which we experience most of our most precious and intimate moments, so how can we neglect covering this place of abode?
It’s so interesting when you think about this… Have you ever gone to someone’s home and felt total peace and comfort? Now, is this the way visitors feel when they enter your home for the first time? Or do they feel as though they just walked into a jungle of instability and negativity? Ladies, we have to pray over our homes and maintain a Godly presence within those four walls, especially considering that this is where our children spend most of their time. Our children need to feel at peace when they are home and when they are resting. The Lord wants our home to be a peaceful dwelling place. “My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.” (Isaiah 32:18). Take a few moments to anoint and bless your home with the Holy Spirit tonight. I pray that you rest with peace like never before.
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for more words of encouragement and inspiration for M.O.M.’s near and far!
