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 pray that you will be clothed in kindness. As an imitator of Christ, you will be gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant to kindness.” The portion of this passage that really stood out to me was “you will be gracious and merciful, slow to anger…” This led me to think about a conversation that I had with one of my loved one’s on yesterday. This is person is a man of God and he is making a very sincere effort to seek God and do His will. Well, he recently had to deal with a “road rage” situation that he didn’t handle very well. To make a long story short, his actions did not fall in line with the word of God. You see, there are eyes constantly watching us. Our daily walk and how we react to situations and circumstances should be examples to our non-Christian counterparts of God’s love and kindness. For the word tells us, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” (Matthew 5:13) Furthermore, God is always watching us and we should strive to do things that are pleasing in His eyes.

As parents, our children look up to us and see our actions on a consistent basis. Therefore, we should make every effort to be in a constant state of self-improvement. We all have moments in which we get extremely upset or frustrated, but we must control our emotions and handle these moments according to what God’s word says. We must not be driven by our emotions, but we must take the wheel of life and steer ourselves in the way of the Lord!
