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, “Lie down in peace this evening, dear child, because our dwelling place is secure. You can rest; you are secure in God. God has shielded you all day long. You can look about and rest in hope.” After reading this scripture I thought about a message that I recently heard Pastor Joyce Meyer ministering on. She was talking about being in the rest of God and letting your soul go on vacation. In this message she wanted to convey to the audience that in the midst of trials and stressful times you should give your situation over to God and let your soul take a vacation. When your soul is on vacation you don’t worry or stress over what you see in the natural, but you allow your soul to rest while God fights the battle for you.

It’s quite evident by the fact that so many stress-induced diseases and illnesses are killing and affecting God’s children daily, that we aren’t letting our souls go on vacation. We aren’t REALLY giving the “issues” over to God, but we need to. The Lord our God is our shield, therefore, we can always rest securely in Him. “About Benjamin he said: "Let the beloved of the LORD rest secure in him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the LORD loves rests between his shoulders."” (Deuteronomy 33:12). So the next time you feel stress creeping up on you, stop and take a much needed “soul vacation” and let God bring you out in victory!

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