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.
ALWAYS PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING
Philippians 4:6: “In EVERY THING by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” Read also Psalm 16; Luke 18;1; 21:36; Romans 1:9; Ephesians 6:18; Philippians 1:4; Colossians 4:12; and 2 Thessalonians 1:11.
It’s easy to get despondent, complain, and grumble, isn’t it? But can you imagine what it would be like in your home if you prayed about everything? Every little thing?
ALWAYS GIVE THANKS FOR EVERYTHING
1 Thessalonians 5:8 reminds us: “In EVERY THING give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Read also Ephesians 5:20 and Colossians 2:7.
Are things getting you upset in your home? God wants you to give thanks. Do you feel your home is too small? And yes, you need a bigger car? Give thanks anyway. Give thanks in all situations. You are in His perfect will when you give thanks!
Oh, can you just imagine what will happen in your home? Your heart will change. You will make your husband so happy. Your children will be happier. The peace and presence of God will fill your home instead of tenseness and gloom.
ALWAYS REJOICE IN THE LORD
Philippians 4:4: “Rejoice I the Lord ALWAYS: and again I say, Rejoice.”
What’s happening in your home? Are you living God’s way or giving into your own fleshly feelings?
ALWAYS DO THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASE THE LORD
John 8:29: “I do ALWAYS those things that please Him.”
ALWAYS ABOUNDING IN THE WORK OF THE LORD
The greatest work that God has given you to do is mothering. When God give you children, He gives them to you to mother and nurture, not to someone else. Therefore, do it with zeal. Do it with all your heart. 1 Corinthians 15:58 encourages us: “ALWAYS abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
