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, “May God give you insight so that you will know and be continually aware that your labor in the Lord is not futile, never wasted or to no purpose.” As believers, we all have moments in which we get “weary in well doing” as we labor in the Lord. This can sometimes cause us to want to give in or throw in the towel. Our “natural/carnal” nature comes to surface at times and we want to act on these fleshly thoughts and desires. This is of no surprise to our Heavenly Father. The Bible explains that we were born with a sinful nature in Psalm 51:5, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Although, the fact remains that we have these thoughts, but we don’t have to act on them.

The Word tells us that we can renew our strength in the Lord. “but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31). This is actually one of my favorite scriptures because it reminds me that the Lord WILL continually renew my strength, no matter what I may be facing. The same goes for you as well. For those moments in which you get tired and frustrated in doing the labor of the Lord, you too can find strength in Isaiah 40:31.

Our children also need to know and understand that their strength is in the Lord. We can teach them certain scriptures to stand on, so that they can speak God’s Word over whatever they may be facing in life. I mean, the Word is our living water!
