Above Rubies Daily Encouragement Blogs
Through the weekly and daily devotionals you can be constantly encouraged in your great role of parenting, the highest career in the nation. You can also stay updated on what's happening with the Above Rubies ministry.
GO TO THE RIGHT SOURCE
We can't build a strong home without wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Building a home doesn't just happen.
Isn't it amazing that girls are encouraging to get degrees in all kinds of things, but there is no degree for homebuilding. And yet, this is the most important career in the nation! It is the homes that strengthen or weaken the nation. It is the mothers who determine the destiny of the nation. We can spend years studying for that which is unnecessary and never prepare for the most necessary.
Of course, we can't build a godly home with worldly wisdom and understanding. We must come to God, the one who planned the whole idea of home and family in the first place. His Word is filled with wisdom about how to go about it. And in Him "are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2).
Proverbs 24:3-4 says, "Through wisdom is an house builded, and by understanding it is established, and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches."
Cry out to God daily for His wisdom and knowledge. He is the source of it all. And He has promised to give it to you (James 1:5-8).
