Your Homemaking is Not Unnoticed

We are not alone in our daily tasks. As Christian wives, mothers and homemakers we might sometimes think that our daily duties go unnoticed or perhaps don't matter that much to others. But what we do each day in our homes does not go unnoticed.  Rom 15:33 KJV - "Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen." First of all, the Lord sees you. He delights in us lovingly serving him by us joyfully serving our families. He delights in us being obedient to our husband, taking care of our children, and keeping our homes clean, neat and tidy. He is glad when we take time for bible study and prayer, teaching our children Gods word, and when older Christian women mentor the younger women. He is happy when we fellowship with other believers, serve others, share the gospel, and encourage others. Christ lives in us as believers and each moment that we yeild ourselves over to serve him earns us more rewards for the heavenly places, and brings glory to God.  Titus 2:4-5 "That they m...

Being Content as Homemakers

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. Paul had to LEARN to be content and this is also something that we need to learn. In fact Paul also said in 1 Timothy 6:8 " And having food and raiment let us be therewith content ." He mentions food and clothing and doesn't even mention shelter! Most of us in western society have far more than just food and clothing! Can we learn to be content? Yes! Paul also goes on to say in 1 Timothy 6: 9-11, "9 But they that will be rich [meaning those who make their lives all about "the mighty dollar"] fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow afte...

Biblical Submission

Submission is a common word in the King James Bible. The Websters 1828 dictionary defines submission as: • The act of submitting; the act of yielding to power or authority; surrender of the person and power to the control or government of another. • Acknowledgment of inferiority or dependence; humble or suppliant behavior. • Obedience; compliance with the commands or laws of a superior. submission of children to their parents is an indispensable duty. • Resignation; a yielding of one's will to the will or appointment of a superior without murmuring. Entire and cheerful submission to the will of God is a christian duty of prime excellence. Believers are to submit themselves to God's will. They are also to submit themselves to serving one another in love and charity. Children are to submit to their parents; younger people are to submit to [respect] their elders; we are to submit ourselves to obeying the laws of our land (human government); etc. Women are to submit to t...

Homemaking is Important to God

Homemaking is very important to God. God actually speaks about women being homemakers in scripture. Let's look at some verses. Titus 2:5 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Proverbs 14:1  - Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. Proverbs 31 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household , and eateth not the bread of idleness. 1 Timothy 5:14  - I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. Our lives as believers should not be all about worldly achievements and ambitions. When we are saved, the reason why God doesn't just take us up to heaven immediately is so that we can remain here a little while to: 1) Give the gospel to others. This would include our own children and teaching our children Gods word.   2) Read, study a...
