MOTHERS ARE IRREPLACEABLE
Mothers in today’s society are often made to feel insignificant and that they are not doing something worthwhile with their lives. This is so far from the truth. God designed women for the home--to raise His children in the home (yes, they are ultimately God’s children), to be the greatest influencers upon their children for God and His truth, and to make their home a sanctuary that is strong and secure against the storms and winds that we all face in this life.
The words of Zechariah 13:7 also apply to motherhood: “Smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.” As mothers we are shepherdesses of our little flocks. Just as the shepherd is essential for the survival of the sheep and lambs, so are mothers indispensable for their children.
Satan’s plan is to smite motherhood and scatter the mother shepherds out of the home. When he lures mothers away from their home, he can then turn against “the little ones” and entice them to his thinking and ways.
It is sad that many have fallen for Satan’s trap. It is time for watchdog, protective, lion-like, standing strong, never giving into deception mothers to arise. Mothers who will not be moved from their homes and who will guard their children and homes with all diligence.
Don’t be lured away, dear mother. No one, no matter how professional they are, can ever replace you, the mother! You are more important than you realize.
Blessings to you today,
