A DAY OF GOOD THINGS
What are the older women to teach the younger women? Titus 2:3 says that they are to "be teachers of GOOD THINGS.”
What are these GOOD THINGS? To love your husband, love your children, to be keepers at home, etc. (Titus 2:3-5). As you seek to manage your home efficiently, and nurture and train your children today, you are doing a GOOD THING! Not a boring thing. Not an insignificant thing. Not a frustrating thing. You are doing a GOOD THING!
Sometimes we go about . . .! Sometimes aimlessly. Sometimes fretfully. Instead, let’s go about doing GOOD THINGS. The Bible tells us how “Jesus went about . . .” How did He go about?
Matthew 9:35: “Jesus went about . . . teaching . . . and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” This is a huge part of your mothering career—teaching your children, proclaiming the gospel of God’s kingdom into their lives, and healing—healing sore toes and scraped knees (and sometimes bigger things) and their emotions and souls and spirits. It’s a full-time job.
Acts 10:38: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power who went about DOING GOOD, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
We also need the power of the Holy Spirit with us as we mother. We need God with us. As you begin each new mothering day, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you anew with His anointing power. Ask God to be with you and fill your home with His presence.
Enjoy a wonderful day of doing good things.
