Refreshed with the Word

It amazes me how alive the word of God has become to me since I have had children! Take a look: Proverbs 3:1-6 states: “My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” (NIV) As a mother can we be any clearer that that?!?! The Bible has truly become a place of peace and rest when I actually pick it up to read. My soul is renewed and my tired body is refreshed. When my days seem to run together with only a short pause called bedtime, I find I steal a moment for MYSELF when I pick up the Bible and read either Psalms or Proverbs. I pray you will find rest and be renewed through God’s love so you can be the best mother EVER!
