Did you know that God wants you to wear a golden crown on your head each day? In fact, we can’t live without it. We learn this from the clothing God designed for the high priest. Everything that was written in the Old Testament was written for our learning (Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:11). And of course, we are now called “kings and priests unto God” (Revelation 1:6; and 5:10).
We read that Aaron had to wear a miter (turban) on his head. God also commanded Moses to make a plate of pure gold into a crown and engrave it with the words, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. Aaron wore the golden crown, which was placed on blue lace and attached to the turban, on his forehead. And he had to wear it CONTINUALLY.
This golden crown was called “THE HOLY CROWN.” It speaks of keeping our minds pure and holy before the Lord. All evil comes through the mind. This is where we are first tempted. And therefore it is most important to wear our holy crown each day. We don’t wear it physically, but by faith we put on our golden crown reading, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
When evil thoughts come to your mind, you don’t have to accept them. They hit the golden crown of holiness and bounce off. When grumbling, complaining, self-pitying, and negative thoughts come to your mind, you don’t have to accept them. You have a protective golden crown on your forehead. Resist them in the name of Jesus.
Not only did Aaron have to wear the crown continually, but it had to be saturated with the anointing oil, speaking of the HOLY Spirit. We cannot do this in the power of the flesh, but only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Learn to wear your crown by faith each day. Teach your children this lesson and how to get into the habit of wearing it.
Be blessed as you wear your golden holy crown today,

P.S. You can read all about it in these Scriptures: Exodus 28:36-38; 29:6, 7; 39:30, 31; and Leviticus 8:9-11.
In an earlier post, THE LAW OF THE HOUSE, we read Ezekiel 44:5 where we are told to give close attention to all the regulations and instructions regarding the house of the Lord. God established many statutes for His house, but one of them was the Morning and Evening principle.
Yesterday we talked about the LAW OF THE HOUSE. How do we make rules and laws for our home? Do we copy what other mothers do? Do we get ideas out of a book? No, we get it by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Yes, this is an actual Scripture. Ezekiel 43:12 says: “This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.” It is talking about the temple, the place of God’s dwelling. God had laws for His house. He established many ordinances to make it run smoothly. In Ezekiel 44:5 it says: “Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all

How do you feel about your home? Is it a prison? Is it a place you know you have to be because your children are little, but you can’t wait to get on to something different? Or is your delight in your home? Is it your favorite place to be? This is God’s plan for you.
You are well aware that on the Above Rubies Facebook we stand with God that babies are His blessing and His truth of the “blessings of the breasts, and the blessings of the womb” (Genesis 49:25). However, we don’t live in a perfect world and there are many precious women who long for a child and yet are infertile. They do not know the answer and they cry with anguish.
Dear mothers, Your children learn far more from watching you than anything else. They watch your attitudes, the look upon your face (smiling or grouching, happy or sour-faced, sweet or bitter, frustrated or content), your words, and your actions. This is what they will be. What are they seeing?
James 1:17 gives an amazing description of God: “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the FATHER OF LIGHTS, with whom is NO VARIABLENESS, neither SHADOW OF TURNING.”
In the post below we notice that God is glorified when those around us see our good works. Who are going to see our good works first? Our husband and children of course. If we can’t show our good works in our home, it’s not much use starting outside the home.
“You are the LIGHT of the world. . . . Let your SO SHINE before men, that they may SEE your GOOD WORKS, and GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).
Mothers in today’s society are often made to feel insignificant and that they are not doing something worthwhile with their lives. This is so far from the truth. God designed women for the home--to raise His children in the home (yes, they are ultimately God’s children), to be the greatest influencers upon their children for God and His truth, and to make their home a sanctuary that is strong and secure against the storms and winds that we all face i
If you’re in the groove, you most probably call them kids, without even thinking. It’s the norm and we all gravitate to the norm. But is it the best word?
Job exclaims that God does “great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number” (Job 9:10 and 5:9). How true this is. We see God’s wonders every day--in creation, in His workings in our lives, and in our children (the beautiful miracles He has given us.) Every new baby is a miracle from God--a unique new person who has never lived on the earth before and there will never be another one like him or her. How amazing. How our hearts should be f
Where can you communicate while you eat?
An Above Rubies reader, Diana Davies has just sent me a picture of her parents' home with family around the table. Her father calls this table their "table of life" and Diana says that her mother is the glue that keeps all the family together. What a great testimony.
Don’t you love this beautiful picture of the family gathering together around the table? However, I find it so hard to find modern pictures of families around their family meal table. Is it because not many do this today?
Did you enjoy sitting together around your family table last night for your family meal? Did you set the table and prepare a meal that enticed everyone to the table? Did you enjoy great conversation together? Did you end the meal with reading the Word and praying together?
Some folks commented on yesterday’s post, THE WAITING GAME, that they know of couples who married young and are divorced today. Then again, I know of couples who married later and are also divorced today. So sad for both. Divorce is not part of God’s ultimate plan (Malachi 2:14-16 and Matthew 19:3-98).
