We'll - it's official! We voted, and it seems that our mothers had the most positive influence on us as we grew up. For some, a teacher, friend, or other mentor contributed, but for most, it was our mothers! If you're a mother, what are you doing to ensure that your influence is being used the way God would direct you?
Deuteronomy 6: 5-9 says, Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
As a mom, we never get a moment's rest. Everything we say and do, should be in the name of Jesus, teaching our children about Him every step of the way. It's a challenge, but one that is possible with God's helps.
Not a mom?!? That's okay. You're still called to love the Lord your God as this scripture instructs. And who knows? You may be the other person who influences someone more than their own mom. Take every opportunity to show a child the love of Christ.
