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. At 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, “Father God will go before you and take care of everything you will need. His generosity exceeds even ours, in the glory that pours from Jesus.” After I received salvation years ago I didn’t quite understand this basic principle of God supplying all of my needs. It really didn’t occur to me until about 4 years ago when I left a very lucrative and promising Federal Government career to pursue entertainment and entrepreneurship. Many people looked down upon this decision. They thought that it was irrational and that I would later grow to regret doing so. Although, I can honestly say that it was a great decision.

Through the ups and downs of working in the entertainment industry and being a business owner God ALWAYS has supplied ALL of my needs. The word tells us, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19). So why is it that as believers we often disregard stepping out on faith? We like to stay in our safe little boxes even though we want nothing more than to jump out!

I think that we should teach our children that it’s okay to step out on faith. Now, I don’t think that they should haphazardly do what their flesh wants. They need to know that their decision is inline with God’s word and they should pray and receive direction about what they are doing.

Some of you all are at that point in your lives and fear is holding you back from doing what you need and desire to do. Why don’t you take some time to seek God and His word concerning the issue and pray until you get some direction about it? Let’s live fulfilled lives and do things that make us happy and also give God His glory in the process!

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