More today about LIVING IN THE GLORY2. RAISING CHILDREN IN THE HOME IS GLORY
Mothers are the glory of the home. Home and motherhood are synonymous. God created Adam before He created the first home, the Garden of Eden. But before God created His female creation, He made sure the home was ready. When Eve woke up to life, she found herself in the home God created for her. She was created for the home and to make her home a delight, which is the meaning of the word Eden.
Isaiah 63:15 tells us that God’s home is a dwelling place of holiness and glory, and He wants our homes to be the same.
Sadly, the home is degraded by the liberals today. In doing so, they are cutting off their feet and chipping away at the strength of the nation. Mothers in the home are the hidden strength of the nation.
In Micah 2:9 it says: “The women of My people You cast out from their pleasant houses: from their children You have taken away My glory (hadar) forever.” God clearly states here that when children are taken out of the home that they are taken away from their glory. In other words, it is their glory to be raised in the home. It is God’s plan. He provides the home for the blessing, security, safety, teaching, and training of children.
The New English Translation says: “You defraud their children of their prized inheritance.”
The Amplified version says: “From her children you take away My splendor and blessing forever (by putting them among the pagans, away from Me).”
God wants His children to grow up in His presence in the home and to be taught His ways. He does not want them to be taught by pagans. He does not want them to be influenced by humanism, feminism, and extreme socialism. He does not want them to be taught transgenderism and all the other isms that are against God and His eternal truths. That takes away their glory.
Be blessed in your home today,

Why don’t women live in their glory?
The value you put on your meal table will determine the behavior of your children at the meal table. Make every meal a love affair. Make every meal special.
Eleven beautiful girls graced our Shabbat table last night, granddaughters and friends in the Hilltop. It was such a precious time.
Mother, you are the backbone of the nation! You are the greatest threat to those who want to turn this nation away from God’s ways. As you pour out your life to nurture, train, and educate your children, you determine the course of this nation and even the world.
Build into your marriage each day. Say something encouraging and positive to your husband. Respond to him lovingly. Think of something special to do for him. “Every wise woman buildeth her house” (Proverbs14:1).
There’s no other way. Otherwise you can be deceived without realizing you are deceived. What about your children? Are you filling them daily with God’s living word? Is it in their mouths?
When you worry about your problems and concentrate on them you will be filled with misery. When you keep your eyes upon the Lord, peace will fill your heart. “Thou wilt keep him in PERFECT PEACE whose mind is stayed in thee” (Isaiah26:3).
Dear mothers, Today I am sending to you something very special for your young and older daughters. It is 21 points on what to look for in a husband. These points are good points for you to pray over as you pray for the future husbands of your daughters. Also, print them off and give them to your daughters. Encourage them to pray over these points and have them in their hearts as they wait for this special man God has for them. Pass this on to other friends who have daughters too. May you all be blessed, Nancy
My friend, Erin Harrison, got a great revelation. We were talking about the way to make our marriages, our homes, and our families prosper. To do this we need to get back to God’s way. It’s God’s ways that work. When we fill our lives and our children’s lives RICHLY with God’s Word, we will be filled with wisdom and knowledge of the right way to do things. Instead of following the world, we follow the Word.
You can change the atmosphere of your home by your smiles. Are you smiling at your husband? Are you smiling at your children? Smile even if you don’t feel like smiling because when you smile it will change your attitude, and consequently the attitude of all your family.
Do you sometimes feel a little inferior because you don’t have time to get involved in ministry for the Lord? Dear mother, please remember who you are. You are in the perfect will of God. You are doing what God intends you to do. You are His missionary in your home, training disciples for his kingdom. That’s what Jesus did when He was here on earth. He trained twelve disciples who turned the world upside down! There is nothing more powerful than training disciples!
Awhile back we enjoyed showing hospitality to some dear friends. As we talked together, the guy shared a phrase that a friend of his constantly affirms. When facing problems, difficulties, when things are not going as planned, or some project is not as successful as he thought, he always says, “It’s too soon to tell.”
We usually think of food being only for the body, but the Bible tells us that food is also for our hearts. Acts 14:17 tells us that God loves to fill our HEARTS with food and gladness. He doesn’t even mention our bodies.
WHO WILL RESPOND?
I believe that one of the most powerful helps in raising our children, especially our teens, is to find godly peers for them. I know this is not always easy, but I would encourage you to pray earnestly about this and do all in your power to facilitate good friends for your children.
What power we wield through our tongues. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” What kind of words are coming from your mouth? Are your filling your home with life-giving words?
The Scriptures in 1 John 2:14-16 tell us three things about our young men.
In my post yesterday, WHEN SHOULD YOUNG PEOPLE MARRY? I mentioned that in all probability most of the disciples were teens. Some folks in the thread asked for more information of why I would make this statement. Here are a few things to think about.
We are continuing to look at Malachi 2:14-16 passage about marriage. I notice another interesting phrase in this passage. This Scripture talks about the “wife of thy youth.” That’s a rather interesting phrase, especially in the light of society today.
