I am in the middle of reading a wonderful book by Sally Clarkson titled, “The Mom Walk”, in it was a well written passage that I wanted to share with you. It is something simple and yet profound. Something that we know to be true and yet at times easy to forget.
“I have come to believe that the success or failure of every woman who hopes to build her children into a godly legacy depends to a great degree on whether or not she is spending time in the presence of the Lord and filling her mind with His word. In this fallen world of Satan’s dominion, where we are constantly bombarded with worldly ideals and cultural ideas, we cannot hope to be guided into all truth unless we are daily instructed by the Giver of truth. To my mind, it is pretty certain that whether or not a woman invests time with the Lord will ultimately determine what she has to give to her children, husband, and others.
Through the Word of God, we are able to become skillful builders of our children’s souls. May we come often to be enriched by the priceless treasures and jewels in God’s Word so that our hearts will overflow with life to fill the treasure chests of our children. My our walk be step-by-step with Him, with His wisdom, and with His assurance. Because of our faithfulness to His Word, may our children be rich with His love, wisdom, and guidance for the rest of their lives.”
May we all remember this daily, hour by hour and minute by minute so that through the grace of God we will be able to grant our children a godly heritage that will last a lifetime.
I loved this book. Sally shares so much of her own struggles and how they were overcome. It is her most personal book, yet!
