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.

Yesterday’s passage read, “… I praise God for directing your life. I offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually. I thank God for making you a part of His kingdom and helping you to know the importance of being in it.” When I read this passage again this morning I immediately was overcome with joy. I thought about the fact that we all have the opportunity to be a part of God’s kingdom. How awful would it be to know that you have been accepted into His kingdom, but your child hasn’t? I thank God for making us all free will agents to make the choice of having eternal life. It’s not based on what we did or didn’t do. Salvation is openly available to all of us.

It was never God’s intention for us to suffer or to live sub-par lives. He sent Jesus so that we can have salvation and live in abundance. “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9). We should teach our children the importance of being a part of God’s kingdom and explain to them just how much of a privilege and honor that it is. I want to take some time today to thank God for accepting this broken vessel into His kingdom. For without His grace and mercy, I surely don’t know where I would be!

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