Devotional | The Joys of Parenting


Parenting is a divine calling that brings immense joy and fulfillment. As Christian women, we are blessed with the opportunity to nurture and guide our children in the ways of the Lord. Let’s delve into the joys of parenting through the wisdom of Scripture.


Scripture Reading: “Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” (Psalm 127:3, KJV)


The Bible reminds us that children are a precious gift from God. Each child is a unique blessing, entrusted to us to love, teach, and cherish. The joy of parenting can also come from seeing our children grow in faith, character, and wisdom. It is a journey filled with moments of laughter, learning, and love.


Proverbs 22:6 encourages us to “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” This verse highlights the importance of our role in shaping our children’s spiritual and moral foundation. The seeds we plant today will bear fruit in their lives for years to come.


Parenting also brings us closer to God as we rely on His guidance and strength. Ephesians 6:4 advises, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” This verse reminds us to parent with love, patience, and wisdom, reflecting God’s own nurturing nature.


Think about the joyful moments you have experienced as a parent. How have these moments strengthened your faith and brought you closer to God? Consider ways you can continue to nurture your children’s spiritual growth and create a loving, Christ-centered home.


Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of children. Help us to find joy in every moment of parenting, and to see our role as a sacred trust from You. Give us the wisdom, patience, and love we need to guide our children in Your ways. May our homes be filled with Your peace and joy. In Christ's name we pray, Amen.


“And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, KJV)


May you find great joy and fulfillment in the sacred journey of parenting, knowing that your efforts are a beautiful offering to the Lord.

    Finding Joy in Simplicity

    Finding Joy in Simplicity: Lessons from “ Little House on the Prairie ” and the Bible In today’s world, financial struggles can often feel overwhelming, but Christian women can find true happiness and contentment even in the midst of financial hardship. By drawing inspiration from the Bible and the beloved series “ Little House on the Prairie ,” we can discover how to cultivate joy and peace regardless of our economic circumstances.

I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which ...
