Growing up in New Zealand, a country that is part of the British Commonwealth, we were exposed to royalty. As children we were quite obsessed with royalty. My friends and I would search the papers and magazines every day to hopefully find a picture of one of the royal family which we would dutifully cut out and paste in our Royal Family scrapbooks. We would get together to look at one another’s books and swap pictures we didn’t have.If you are a child of God, you belong to royalty. You have been welcomed into the kingdom of God and our ruler is the King of all the kings of the earth and Lord of all lords. I think we tend to forget who we really are. The Bible reminds us in 1 Peter 29: “But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL priesthood, a holy nation . . .” The dictionary says that royalty means “people of royal blood or status, members of a royal family, that which pertains to a king or queen.”
Truly, we have been redeemed by the royal blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We now belong to a royal kingdom and a royal priesthood.
Therefore, don’t you think we should act in a more royal way? We are princesses of the King of kings. We should teach our daughters to dress, talk, walk, and act like princesses. We should teach our sons to act in a kingly manner. With nobility. Regality. Dignity. The authority of the kingdom of God. We need to remind them that they belong to a royal kingdom. We are raising princes and princesses.
I love Psalm 45:16 which says: “Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.”
Of course, we will show them by our own example.
Begin to see yourself as a royal family. Train your children to behave in a royal manner. Become true ambassadors of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Be blessed today,
Nancy Campbell

Adding a few more thoughts to my post below, SHOULD MARRIAGE BE EXCLUSIVE?
Dear lovely mothers, don’t despise all the meals you must cook for your family. Every meal is another glorious opportunity to gather your family together, to fellowship together, to bond together, to laugh and enjoy one another, and expect beautiful things to happen. Cooking the meal paves the way for all these lovely things to happen.
God is bigger than any problem you face. You can trust Him completely.
A Facebook question popped up on my Facebook awhile back: “What do you think about having a male friend apart from your husband? Vice versa too? Can it be a purely platonic relationship?”
GOD NEVER CHANGES
Why do we like to grumble and complain? It never accomplishes one thing! Only negativity and destruction. Change your attitude today and look up. When you praise the Lord good things start happening. Have a great day. As my husband says to us every morning: “May this be the best day of your life so far!”
Praise God, we don’t have to live in the dark. God shows us clearly in His Word how he wants us to live as a married couple. The Bible tells us that we the husband and wife are both to show honor to one another. Let’s check this out, shall we?
In what capacity do you like to introduce yourself? Some folks may introduce themselves as a teacher, singer, nurse, lawyer, or even a mother. Many pastors like to introduce themselves as Pastor So and So. They make sure they precede their name with the word, Pastor!
All the good things that are in Jesus Christ are available to you right now. Not some day in the future, but RIGHT NOW! I know that life is not always perfect when you are mothering your children. You don’t have enough fingers to count how many things go wrong throughout the day. But don’t despair. Jesus Christ is with you. He lives in you. You don’t have to react to these things in your flesh. Instead, allow Jesus to live His life through you.
I have a question for you. Do you think it is possible to “glorify God in your body” if we tamper with the way God created us?
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree it will spend the rest of its life thinking it’s an idiot.” Albert Einstein.
Writing about parenthood, the great preacher and writer, J. R. Miller says: “Duties cannot be transferred.” I happen to agree with him, although many modern Christians would not.
Do any of you read THE DAILY LIGHT ON THE DAILY PATH for your Family Devotions? We read it each morning and evening around our table. Although, for a change, we are currently reading a chapter of the book of Revelation each evening.
Did you know that God has appointed you to be a watchwoman over your home? Proverbs 321:27 says: “She looks well to the ways of her household, and eats not the bread of idleness.”
When you have an opportunity to go out to enjoy yourself, who do you want to go with? Do you want to go with girlfriends? Or your husband? We always want to go with our best friend, don't we?
Are you looking forward to meeting with God’s people this weekend? The assembling of ourselves TOGETHER is a priority for believers.
It adds another dimension to the meal when we sit at an attractively set table.
Sometimes we don’t make our meal table very orderly, do we?
God hovers over mother. He is with you from the beginning to the end. Are you waiting to give birth to a baby soon? God will be with you in your birth. David confesses in Psalm 22:9: “Thou art He that took me out of the womb.” Many translations say, “You brought me safely from my mother’s womb.” Whether you are having your baby at home or in a hospital, put your trust in God. He is the one who brings the baby safely from the womb. He is hovering over you for the life of your baby. Trust Him.
