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.

Yesterday’s passage read, “Little one, I bless you and pray that you will keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race you’re in. I pray for our heavenly Father to give you the desire to study how Jesus did it and to give you the courage to fulfill your destiny.” You know the part of this passage that really jumped out at me was, “Jesus, who both began and finished this race you’re in.” It’s unfathomable to me that a man could walk this earth and NEVER sin. That’s completely amazing!

Isn’t it strange that no matter how hard we try, we all fall short and sin at times? It doesn’t matter if it’s just a little white lie or not, sin is sin. Just think about it for a moment, how difficult would it be to get through a whole week and not commit one sinful act (this includes thoughts as well)! Well, I can answer that question for you, for most of us it would be impossible. Although, I thank God that Jesus was sent to wipe all of our sins away. “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”(1 John 1:7). Now this doesn’t give us a “get out of jail free” card to commit sinful acts and thoughts constantly. What it means is that once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and make a real effort to live according to God’s word we will have abundant and everlasting life.

We must teach our children this principle. They can find comfort in knowing that there was one that came before them that was free from sin and He will be with them every step of the way. We must also seek Him to give us the wisdom and knowledge that we need to properly parent our children.

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