Daily Parenting Devotional

Power from the Holy Spirit

1 Cor 2:12-13: "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words".

Parenting is a tough job, but we have the ultimate Helper to guide us. When we became believers, we were filled with the source of parenting wisdom - the Holy Spirit. When confronted with difficult decisions concerning choices, consequences or a lack of empathy, a mature Christian knows that turning to "the Spirit who is from God", rather than "the spirit of the world" yields the kind of response that is impossible under our own power. When we turn to the Spirit before we turn to our children, we can speak with the wisdom of God, rather than "human wisdom".

There are no parenting guides more valuable than the Holy Spirit and prayer.

THE WORD WORKS!!!

Through faith I know that I can cast, not timidly give, but cast all my cares upon You (I Pe 5:7, Phil 4:6 & Ps.54:22). That by hoping in You I have renewed strength (Isa.40:31), perfect peace (Isa.26:3), and will remain in Your everlasting arms (Deut.33:27). Since You give me my strength, I can do everything through You (Phil.4:13). Even though my adversary the devil prowls about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (I Pe.5:8), I have been given Victory in my Lord Jesus Christ (I Cor.15:57) and shall lack no good thing though the lion shall grow weak (Ps.34:10).

You have given me the choice, and I choose life through Your grace (Deut.30:19). Having chosen life, I know that not one of Your promises has ever failed (Josh 23:14), that You do not speak without acting (Nu.23:19), nor does Your Word return unto You void (Isa.55:11). I know that these promises are for today, for in this world I am like Jesus (I John 4:17). I am to act on Your will that I may become pure and blameless in this generation (Phil 2:15) and thereby present myself to You spotless and without wrinkle when You return (Eph.5:27). I shall not pray my problems and thereby become ensnared by the words of my mouth (Prov.6:2), for You know what I need before I pray (Matt.6:8). Rather, I shall pray the solution through Your Word knowing that I have received (I John 5:15). I know that as I lift these words unto You in prayer they will be fulfilled (Ps.145:19) and my faith will grow. (Ro.10:17).

IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

SOMETIMES IN LIFE

The greatest tests are the ones we view as stupid

We forget to tell those who are important to us just how much we care

We forget that every cloud has a silver lining

We view our problems as though they can never be solved

We forget that there is always a tomorrow

We hold onto the past like it can help us through today

We see challenges as a trial, forgetting that trials are what give us character

We forget to smile, laugh and be happy,, God love you

You are the apple of his eyes

Life is a wonderful gift, how we accept things in life depends on how we see ourselves

Life is wonderful, we meet wonderful people, have great relationships, share wonderful secrets and moments and get to be loved and to love

Do not take life for granted

May yours be filled with love and happiness ALWAYS!!!

“The secret of Happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it”



Have a colourful day!!!!!!

and Keep smiling!!!

Stay Blessed, I Am!!!!!!!
