Sometimes women just need a little pick me up throughout the week, something to get you through till the weekend. Well here you can find devotions for women, wives, and moms, a quick read for you to ponder through the week. If you're anything like me I'm always on the go and busy with life, keeping that in mind these devotions for women are kept short but full of inspiration. Enjoy as you read God's word, keeping it real in your life wherever you are in your walk with God.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
2 Timothy 3:16
One of our roles as a Christian parent is to teach our children right from wrong. A child needs discipline and needs to be corrected when they choose to do something wrong. So who disciplines adults and corrects us when we choose to do wrong things?
We are all sinners and need to be
disciplined and corrected just as a child does. Our Heavenly
Father never steers us in the wrong direction, the Bible
brings us truth and tells us how to live a life that is
pleasing to God. We need to be saturated in God's word
everyday, there is so much in this world that pollutes our
minds so we need to protect our minds by reading what is true.
The Bible teaches us what is wrong and what is right in God's eyes. It's easy for us to think about the obvious sins such as murder, adultery, and lying but what about the less obvious, how we speak and what we feed our minds with. Everyday we connect with people in our lives, spouses, children, friends, people we walk past on the street, how we speak to others, expressions on our face, and manners all account for what is pleasing to God.
Something to Ponder
Before you open your Bible pray to God and ask for a deeper understanding of what you are going to read. Saturate your mind with what you have read and ask yourself how God's word applies to you. Don't just think because you have read it before that you know all there is to know about that one scripture. The Bible not only teaches us how to live but gives us a better understanding of who God is.
Have you opened your Bible today?
Be still, and know that I am God….. (Psalm 46:10)
When life gets you down and you feel like what's the point to all this? There is not much time left in a day for the things you enjoy, because of all your responsibilities. Between working, taking care of your family, your home, and running around doing errands it's easy to become exhausted. Well may I remind you that God has a purpose for your life, He has a purpose for you everyday. Sometimes life does get pretty hectic and when it does we can feel overwhelmed, God tells us "Be still, and know that I am God…." (Psalm 46:10) If you feel like you haven't heard from God and don't really know what your purpose is then obey God's word, be still, pray, and listen. Sometimes our daily purpose is something that doesn't seem significant to us like taking care of your sick child. To Jesus when we care for the sick we are showing love and when we show love to others we love God as well. There might be times when God will bring people into our lives that are broken and your purpose is to reach out and comfort that person. No matter how small or big a purpose seems to us, to God they are all equally important.
Something to Ponder
We should be able to always find time for God even during the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If this is an area you struggle with maybe take a closer look at your daily priorities.
Is God at the top of your list?
But I Don't Want To
Wait For The Answer!
My son has wanted to start his own business for a while now he is driven to be an entrepreneur, I should let you know that he is only 6 years old. He has become very discouraged because he is having a hard time coming up with a craft idea to sell, I encouraged him to pray to God and ask God to guide him. So immediately he ran off to the next room to be alone and began praying, about one minute later he returns and says that God hasn't answered him yet!
I took my troubles to the Lord;
I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
Psalm 120:1
Oh the faith of a child isn't it
wonderful?
I explained to him that God hears and answers all of our prayers and He will answer in His perfect timing so until then he has to be patient. How patient are we when we pray to God for wisdom or guidance? Our human mind is accustom to asking a question and getting the answer right away, so when we don't hear from God immediately it can be a struggle and we can become very impatient.
Something to Ponder
If you have unanswered prayers ask yourself if there are any distractions in your life that might be affecting you from hearing from God, sometimes we are so distracted that we miss the answer.
But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer
Psalm 66:19
Are you patiently waiting for an
unanswered prayer?
