MOMS OF THE BIBLE

Motherhood is equal parts wonderful and hard. So often we lie in bed at night thinking over our day criticizing ourselves. I should have taken them to the park today. I shouldn't have gotten so upset over the spilled juice. I haven't given them so many snacks. I should have gotten more housework done. I should have listened to her story of school better. I'll do better tomorrow. Then tomorrow brings much of the same and our mom guilt grows.

Friend, you are not alone. Since the beginning of time moms everywhere have fought and strived to be the best mothers they can be...even in the Bible. In her new book Moms of the Bible, Rhonda Stoppe shares life changing lessons from moms in the Bible who were fearless, flawed, and faithful.

Rhonda takes us through twelve different women in the Bible. Women like Rehab, Mary, Lot's wife, Rebekah, Hannah, and others. She takes through the lives of these twelve women, showing us the struggles and successes of these real life moms, weaving her own stories throughout.

Rhonda says, "Her [Eve] sinful choice, which Adam took part in, was the catalyst for everything wrong in this world. I hope her story reminds you of how vulnerable all of us are to satan's schemes, including you. To deceive you, his promises to give you your best life now will be twisted with Scripture." She goes on to say, "When your kids notice how important knowing God has become to you, they'll be inspired to know Him too -which will help protect them from believing satan's lies."

Each chapter ends with life lesson questions and a qr code for videos from Rhonda. I truly loved Moms of the Bible. I love how Rhonda teaches lessons from each of these moms, shares her own stories, and leads us to the Bible. For more on Moms of the Bible, click HERE. To enter to win a copy, click HERE.

POSITION YOURSELF CORRECTLY

You do not have to fight this battle.

Position yourselves, stand still, and

see the salvation of the Lord. He is with

you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be

afraid or discouraged. Tomorrow, go out

to face them, for the Lord is with you.

2 Chronicles 20:17 CSB

When I read the above verse in 2 Chronicles, two words stick out to me: position yourselves. When we position ourselves correctly, we can see the salvation of the Lord, we can have confidence that He is with us, we don't need to be afraid, and we don't need to be discouraged. All of that if we just position ourselves correctly.

So how can we position ourselves correctly?

Repent of sin. Ask God for forgiveness of your sins. Since we are human and sin daily, we need to repent of our sins daily. Thankfully, God has no limits on His forgiveness. We ask forgiveness, He is faithful and forgives. Does that mean we can go on sinning? Absolutely not; we need to strive to live a holy and sinless life. But God knows we are human and imperfect. He knows we will sin and He is waiting on us to repent.

CAST YOUR CARES

 Cast v.
[kast, kahst]
1. To throw or hurl; fling
2. To throw off or away

Cast all your anxiety on Him

because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

Cast your cares on the Lord

and He will sustain you;

He will never let

the righteous be shaken.

Psalm 55:22

The Bible says to cast our cares on God. God could have chose any word for these verses. Yet, out of the hundred-thousand, or so, words in existence, God choose the word cast. When I hear the word cast, I automatically think of someone fishing. They cast their line out which means they throw, hurl, or fling their line as far out as they can into the water. They try to get the line far from them.
