A Mom Who Can, A Mother That Must…

From the conversations that I’ve heard recently between mothers, both my own family members and mothers outside of my own family, there is a kind of fear about raising children in the world we live in. Young women who are pregnant see a questionable future for their children. As a result, anxiety levels are elevated. It’s hard for parents to imagine what kind of world their children will awaken to in another five, ten, or so years. Many people ask themselves if they should have children at all. 

Our world has always been a dangerous place to live.. But in some ways it is as dangerous now as it has ever been. Mothers are raising children in a day where they face a very, very troubled world and a very hostile world. Hostile to families, aggressively hostile to families, hostile to marriage, therefore hostile to their children. We also are facing the fact that in our lifetime this is the first time that true Christians have become public enemy number one. And the system is coming at us with a fierceness. Never in the history of the world have we been exposed to as much trouble as today.

The God of Great Provision

We must believe in a big God! Children, teens, young adults must know Him in that manner! We always want the next generation to be better, to learn faster, to embrace God as early as possible.

Psalm 78

1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

3 Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

4 We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

7 That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

Greater Glory!

In Chapter 1 Haggai rebukes them and tells them to consider their ways. They get right, they get to work. These are good people who are the children of God, they seem pliable. This is one of the few places that the children of Israel actually obeyed God when He corrected them. They get to work on God’s House. God asks 3 rhetorical questions—He already knows the answer because he already knows their heart. He can hear what they are saying in their head, He can see what their heart is believing and saying…

Ignored, Cut-Off and Forgotten

Have you ever been ignored? How did it make you feel? Have you ever been cut-off? Has anyone ever told you something, or promised something and forgot? Life can be cruel. Life can be mean. Life can be unkind and brutal on human emotion.

It is one thing to experience these emotions with people, it’s another to feel them with God. This will require you to be completely honest with yourself internally. Has there ever been time, a place or are you in a place, where you feel like things with God has changed. Communion with Him is different, His Presence feels like it’s been relocated to a far away place and you just can’t reach it. Cant grasp it. I submit to you that this is a typical struggle in the Christian life. The feeling that God is not favorable. That his lovingkindness has ceased. That his promise is somehow not reliable. You are not ALONE!

Psalm 77:1-9
