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.

Saturdays passage read, “Listen, ________ (your child’s name) and hear what Jesus said. He says that if you believe in Him, the works that he does, you will do even greater. You have a wonderful future prepared for you.” It’s absolutely astonishing to know that as children of The Most High God, the sky is the limit! We can literally do great things, things that are incomprehensible to many. If you think about it, as children we all had these big dreams and goals of how we wanted to live our lives and what we wanted to be. Unfortunately, many of us had teachers, parents and loved ones that told us that we should “be more realistic.” What a tragedy for us to let our big dreams fall by the wayside because of what someone else said we couldn’t do!

It’s so important that we build our children up and support their dreams and not close their minds to imagining and dreaming. If we believe in the Lord and His works, there is so much in store for us. Jesus told us in John 14:11-14, “Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” There you have it, it’s written in the true and living word, we ask and it will be done.

It’s time out for the limited thinking and closed mindedness. We have to allow our minds to be open to doing great things. Is there something that you always wanted to do, but your fear kept you from stepping out? Is there an invention that you know God gave you, but you let someone talk you out of it? It is time for us to claim what is ours and make our petition to God. Let’s stop talking about it and actually be about it! Seek God for direction, trust and believe in Him and watch great things happen in your life.

Be sure to tune in tomorrow for more words of encouragement and inspiration for M.O.M.’s near and far!
