IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 21, 2013
KEEPING HOUSE AND A JOYFUL MOTHER
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. Psalms 113:9
Amazing! God takes us in our desolate state and brings uncommon joy to us. What a blessing it is to be given the opportunity and time to "keep house." Thank God for beds to make, laundry to do, dishes to wash, meals to create! Wow. What a blessing it is to be called "mother" in a family. And what a blessing it is to be a JOYFUL MOTHER of children. I thank God for the grace to see the gift of offspring. I thank God for the grace to enjoy the moments with the children. Thank you God. What a blessing! God certainly gives us seasons in our lives. Sometimes we go through a season of barrenness, but God is planning a season of fruitfulness for us. Often we can't appreciate the fruit unless we have experienced the barrenness.
Today, thank God for seasons of life.
