Thy Word Have I Hid In My Heart

Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

 

Motherhood is a sanctification journey. As I am trying to correct, instruct, and nurture the little hearts God's blessed me with, I'm learning that I must use the tools that He has provided. So often, I work out of my own strength wondering why my words seem to fall on deaf ears. The Holy Spirit has reminded me that it is His words that do not return void. Over the past year, I have sought to be intentional about commiting Scripture to memory. Not only has it helped me in my parenting, but it has helped me in my own relationship with the Lord. We need mamas who will desire that His Word will not depart out of their mouths, who will meditate therein day and night!

Hear some practical ideas for how I am memorizing Scripture myself and how I am helping my children to hide God's Word in their hearts.
