Let God Be God
Every mom I know sometimes feels as if she’s blown it. Am I too lenient? Am I too strict? What could I do to better protect, teach, or guide my child? Our kids don’t come with an owner’s manual, and that’s one reason parenting is hard work. When our children are young, being a mom is physically exhausting. But as our children grow, motherhood becomes far more emotionally exhausting.
Because we love our children and desire to see them mature and walk wisely in the world, we can beat ourselves up over our parenting. We can get weary. Feel overwhelmed. Question whether our kids’ mistakes will affect their futures. This is why we need the reminder of this truth: God is God—and we are not.
There are countless places in the Bible where God declared He is God. Although that seems obvious, the frequency of these reminders suggests just how often we forget. Instead of trusting God, we try to be God. Bad idea! We might not come right out and say it, or we might not even realize it. In many ways, though, our actions can reveal our lack of trust in the God who is ultimately in control of our lives—and our children’s lives.
Friend, let’s choose to rest in God’s promises and trust Him for the future. And let’s be faithful to what He has called us to do today. Even when we feel as if we are failing as moms, God’s purposes for us and for our children never will. Let God be God.
Father, I need Your grace. I know that I don’t always parent the best way. I need You. I need Your wisdom, Your grace, and Your power. Remind me that even when I feel like I’m failing, You are faithful to accomplish all of Your purposes. Give me hope and joy today as I serve and trust You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
• In what part of your life are you struggling to trust God?
• How can the faithfulness of God be an encouragement to you as a mom today?
