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 pray that all the words of your mouth will be righteous, upright and in right standing with God.” We all are quite familiar with the old adage, “Kids say that darndest things.” Although, we must understand that kids usually mimic what they see and hear. If we aren’t doing our part to ensure that our children hear the right things, they will be more likely to say the wrong things. Of course we can’t monitor everything that goes in and out, but we can lay the right foundation and make sure they understand what’s right and what’s wrong. Then we need to correct them when they allow inappropriate things to come out of their mouths.

As adults we also have to watch what we allow to come out of our mouths. At times I hear people say things like; “My head is killing me,” “You make me sick,” and “I’m catching a cold.” We must realize just how much power the tongue has and guard the things that we say. The word tells us, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21).

During our quest for speaking what it righteous, we can meditate on Proverbs 8:7-8, “My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse.” As we make an effort to watch what we say doing so will help our children learn to say right things as well.

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