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 ask God to create a hunger for His Word in your heart. His Word will thrill you, and you will be nourished by Scripture day and night. You are a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.” It is vitally important that we, as believers, are constantly filling ourselves with the Word of God. The Word of God is our spiritual food, and just like we make it a priority to feed our natural bodies daily, we must do the same for our spirits as well. The Word is one of our spiritual weapons and can be used to get us through any situation that we may face. I know that sometimes it may seem difficult to make reading the Word priority in our lives, but we really can’t afford not to.

In the book of Psalms it is explained that we are to meditate on God’s word both day and night. “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.” (Psalm 1:2-3). So as we raise our children we must fill them with the Word of God. We all want our children to produce good fruit and prosper and the Word has given us instruction on how to assist them in doing so.

Until our next appointed meeting time. Stay tuned for more words of encouragement and inspiration for M.O.M.’s near and far!
