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.

Sunday’s passage read, “I bless you with a desire for insight so that you may raise your voice for understanding, seek for wisdom as silver and search for skillful and godly wisdom as for hidden treasures.” After reading this passage and the biblical reference in several times, I gained a deeper understanding of this passage. The biblical reference comes from Proverbs 2:3-6, “and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

For many years Christians have gone to their friends, family and love ones for advice about a situation that they were facing, instead of seeking insight from the Lord. God left His living Word so that we may attain the knowledge and wisdom to handle anything that may come our way. What a joy it would be for our children to receive understanding of this principle at a young age. Just imagine how much differently you would have handled situations throughout the years if you had clear understanding of this precept early on.

It’s funny that even after knowing that we should seek wisdom and knowledge from God; some of us still choose to search for it from others. Doesn’t it just make sense to first seek council from the one that knows your beginning, your end and everything in between? So the next time you are faced with something that you need guidance on, search for insight from God first and watch what happens.

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