Moms of the Bible Series, part 4. The story of Moses' two mothers: Jochebed and Pharaoh’s daughter. These two ordinary women raised Moses to do extraordinary things. How can we be moms who are courageous and faithful like them? Show Notes & Links:  Remember sometimes you have to step out into the water with courage and faith. It’s not easy to choose faith over fear in our parenting, but we have to learn to trust God, even when we don’t know the outcome. Remember God loves to use the ordinary to do the extraordinary. Just about every mom of the Bible teaches us this lesson, including Jochebed and Pharoah’s daughter, who was so ordinary, she is never named in the Bible. But God used them both to give Moses life so that he could grow up and save God’s people. “That's what God is about: taking ordinary people and doing extraordinary things through them and then getting glory to Himself.” Click here to see the Adrian Rogers quote.  *For more products go to https://www.lwf.org/faithful-31-moms and use code F31M10 for 10% off your purchase!

What would you say if I told you today, instead of giving you a to-do list of how to be a better mom, I’m giving you a “to-don’t list?" Learning what not to do from this mom of the Bible. Show Notes: Remember, don’t play favorites and don’t try to control your children. When you struggle, ask yourself these 2 questions: Is this what is best for me or best for my child? Is this what I want or what God wants? The Challenge: Ask the Lord to give you wisdom in your parenting! “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.” -James 1:5 Go to faithful31moms.com  for the Scripture Writing Plan I mentioned or to https://www.lwf.org/scripture-writing-plans/know-and-live-the-truth   Originally published March 2022
