Mom Heart Moments #207

Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me.

IF THERE WAS ONE LEGACY I wish I could leave to women, it would be to help them think more biblically. When a woman knows Scripture —not just verses here and there taken out of context but a biblical understanding from Genesis to Revelation —she has more confidence and ease in her walk with God.

God makes it clear throughout Scripture that His priority is that we know Him and love Him with our whole heart and mind. And so the starting point for any arena in our lives must be God —our worship of Him and knowledge of Him, plus obedience coming from a heart that wants to please Him.

As we live the Christian life, God has given us a brain to think, a conscience to nudge our hearts, and most importantly, the Holy Spirit who lives inside of us to guide us. All He asks is that we live by faith in Him and dependence on Him. God always loves to lead us and work through us by faith in relationship to Him and what He is impressing us to do, within the beautiful design of our femininity and womanhood. That is why it is crucial that we are spending time in His presence and seeking to build a foundation of conviction on Scripture and knowledge of God.

Let me pray for you today . . .

Lord, I pray that each one who reads this devotional will be led by You. I pray You will provide them with insight, skill, love, wisdom, and the understanding of what it means to be filled with Your Spirit and to walk by faith in this journey of motherhood. And bless them with strength, joy, and a sense of affirmation in their great calling as parents. In the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
