The Lord wants us to BE ENCOURAGED in our ministry as mothers!
I like the quote from Charles Spurgeon, “You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, & training them up in God’s fear, & minding the house, & making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts.”
What your children learn at YOUR HOUSE should reflect what they learn at GOD’S HOUSE from His Word!
Motherhood IS a Ministry, an assignment from God, a high calling and job we’ve been entrusted with. It is a ministry that has eternal souls at stake! Our children should be are our greatest converts.
There’s no replacement for a godly mother. Motherhood is a ministry to be taken up with pride and honour.
I don’t know about you, but I often need a mindset change to view motherhood properly.
The days can be long, but the years are short.
Serving at home, sharing the gospel to our own children, discipling them, modeling for them the love of Christ. These are all part of the job that can so often be overwhelming, but with God’s grace, Mamas we can shift that overwhelm into joy.
2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Psalm 113:9 KJV “He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a JOYFUL mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.”
Yes, it a serious call. And as with all ministry work the Lord calls us to, it is as much for us, the minister, as it is for the people we are ministering to. And in this ministry especially, you can’t ever fake your faith the way one can (although one shouldn’t!) with a ministry that happens out of the home.
So on the days that are hard, long and overwhelming…. I just remind myself that His grace is enough. Even on my weakest day, I can find strength through Christ to take on another day. MOTHERHOOD IS MY MINISTRY
