I love the Arthur S. Way's translation of Titus 2:3-5 where it tells the older women their responsibilities: "They should be teachers of virtue, qualified to school in self-control the young women, to teach them to love their husbands and their children, to be discreet and chaste, to recognize that their sphere is home, to be amiable and submissive to their own husbands, so that no slander may assail the Word of God."
I also love the phrase, "to recognize that their sphere is home." God has given a special sphere to us as mothers.
It is the place where He wants us to rule and reign as queens.
It is the place where He planned for us to nurture and raise our children.
It is the place where we teach and train children to come forth into the world to bring God's love, truth, and the revelation of who He is.
It is where we build a sanctuary for Him.
This place is our home.
Thank the Lord for the gift of your home today. Thank Him for this special sphere He has given to you where you are free to fulfill your destiny—to be the greatest wife to your husband and the greatest mother to your children. Thank Him for this powerful sphere from which you can change the world.
May God inspire and bless you today.
