Did you know that God wants you to wear a golden crown on your head each day? In fact, we can’t live without it. We learn about this from the clothing God designed for the high priest in Exodus 28:36-38. Everything that was written in the Old Testament was written for our learning (Romans 15:4 and 1 Corinthians 10:11). And of course, we are called “kings and priests unto God” (Revelation 1:6; and 5:10).We read that Aaron had to wear a miter (turban) on his head. God also commanded Moses to make a plate of pure gold into a crown and engrave it with the words, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. Aaron wore the golden crown, which was placed on blue lace and attached to the turban, on his forehead. And he had to wear it CONTINUALLY! The Bible says that “it shall be ALWAYS upon his forehead.”
This golden crown was called “THE HOLY CROWN.” It speaks of keeping our minds pure and holy before the Lord. All evil comes through the mind. Doubts. Deceptions. Self pity thoughts. They all begin in the ind. This is where we are first tempted. Therefore, it is most important to wear our holy crown each day. We don’t wear it physically, but by faith we put on our golden crown of HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
When evil and negative thoughts come to your mind, don’t accept them. When you wear your crown, they will hit the golden crown of holiness and bounce off. When grumbling, complaining, self-pitying, and unbelieving thoughts come to your mind, resist them in the name of Jesus. You have a protective golden crown on your forehead.
Not only did Aaron wear the crown continually, but it had to be saturated with the anointing oil, speaking of the HOLY Spirit. We cannot do this in the power of the flesh, but only by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Learn to wear your crown by faith each day. Teach your children this lesson and how to get into the habit of wearing it. Teach them to be proactive about keeping their minds pure. Teach them the truths from the following Scriptures and make them memory verses: Psalm 119:9 11; Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 10:4, 5; Philippians 4:8; 1 Peter 13; and James 4:7.
Proverbs 4:14, 15 (NLT) reminds us what to do about an evil thought or being tempted to go down an evil path:
AVOID IT, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT,
DON’T GO THAT WAY,
TURN AWAY FROM IT,
AND KEEP MOVING ON!
Be blessed today,
Nancy Campbell
P.S. To read more about the golden crown, go to: Exodus 28:36-38; 29:6, 7; 39:30, 31; and Leviticus 8:9-11.

In my last post I wrote about having faithful children. Did you know the Bible also talks about raising DIGNIFIED children?
God specifically encourages us as parents to raise FAITHFUL children. Titus 1:6 writes to pastors and elders that they must be men of unquestionable integrity who have “FAITHFUL children not accused of riot or unruly.” This is God’s standard for all parents, but a pastor who leads a flock, must of course hold up this standard.
Let's get to the nitty gritty. Did you know that the Bible portrays the female as a suckling mother? We seem to have gotten so far away from truth in our modern and humanistic society that we hardly know what is normal anymore.
Further thoughts to my post yesterday regarding Breastfeeding or Chestfeeding.
The liberals don’t only want to get rid of the word “mother.” They don’t like the word “breastfeeding.” Why can’t they embrace the creation of the female? It is not only sad but scary that so many people are so deceived by the transgender propaganda that they want to eliminate anything that reveals the true characteristics of male or female.
I’d love to add a few thoughts to my post yesterday. Not every mother has the privilege to give birth to a baby, but every woman is created with the anointing to nurture and to mother. It is innately within her by divine creation. This is why the eradication of the word “mother” is a slap in the face against women.
I am sure you are already aware that Biden and his cohorts have removed the word “mother” from their health programs for the phrase “birthing people.”
In yesterday’s post I shared about how God thinks about preparing food and how we are also like God when we care about preparing food for our families and for others.
Elijah was running from wicked Queen Jezebel. He’d been running for two days and was exhausted, so exhausted he was ready to end his life.
Lying in the bath the other night I read the words in Psalm 30:9: “Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth? No. We have only one chance to declare God’s truth and make known the glory of God and that’s while we are here on this earth. When we meet the Lord, all our opportunities will be gone.
What’s happening in your home today? Is everything piling on top of you--laundry, dishes, and teaching the children all waiting to be accomplished? Don’t despair, dear mother. Don’t look at everything waiting to be done. Just tackle one job at a time. Priorities first. But do each task with ALL YOUR MIGHT. Not half-heartedly, grumblingly, or lazily. And teach your children to do their chores with all their might too. You will inspire this attitude in them as they see the way you work in the home.
I remember seeing a cartoon many years ago. It was a picture of a mother looking at the adverts in the newspaper. Around her were children out of control and the house in utter chaos. The caption read: “I’m looking for a job, I need a rest!”
Do you remember the account of Jesus when he was only twelve years old? The family came to the Feast of Passover at Jerusalem. On the way home, along with all the other hundreds of families returning from Jerusalem, his parents noticed Jesus’ was missing. They immediately returned to Jerusalem, but it was three days before they found Him.
Words and ideas are indivisible with God. It is the same with us. Our ideas and thoughts about any issue determine what we confess about it. And get this. What we confess is how we live! Our confession determines our lifestyle.
It is important to have purpose and vision in our lives, isn’t it? In our great role of mothering and homemaking we also need purpose. Purpose keeps us motivated. Purpose keeps us going even as we face trials.
King David was passionate about building as house for the name of the Lord, although his son, Solomon completed the vision. 1 Kings 8:17-19 says: “And the LORD said unto David my father . . . thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house UNTO MY NAME.”
Oh yes, time to get a new Bible too. This is the Bible I use daily. My favorite. It is the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible, edited by Spiros Zodhiates. I use the King James Version, but you can get it in other versions too.
