Daily Strength for Mothers

DAY 5 OF 7

Utilize the Word

Have you ever provided your children with a resource only to see them completely ignore it and struggle through whatever task they have? Maybe you have a tumultuous relationship with your preteen and even though you have a math degree, they refuse to let you help them with algebra homework. You watch them stubbornly muddle through it, knowing that your help would make all the difference.

Likewise, don’t forsake the gift that you’ve been given in the Word. Though it might sound cliché, you truly have been given a manual to live by. When you find yourself unsure of something, lost, or discouraged, read the Word. In all circumstances, read the Word of God. It is full of life and always profitable for you. The more you fill your heart with Scripture, the more you’ll be able to quickly decipher between truth and lies. As you become familiar with what God has said, you’ll find yourself wasting less time worrying about things that he didn’t say.

God, thank you for the gift that you’ve given me in the Word. Help me to utilize it well. I want to be so familiar with your Word that I can quickly decipher what is true and what is not. As I read it, with whatever amount of time I have, help it to sink deep into my heart.
