As we delight in Scripture and disciple our children in its truths, we show them the joy of putting the Word before the world.

In seasons where we struggle to sit down for a quiet time or retain what we’ve read, we can creatively seek out ways to put God’s Word always before us.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all that we must teach our children, we can seek to faithfully steward each small opportunity God gives to pour truth into their hearts.

We can creatively seek the Lord together as a family, even when our schedules make regular discipleship routines and church participation difficult.

When the Word is planted deep in our hearts and minds, we have it at the ready for every challenging moment of motherhood.

While we can subsist on snacks for a while, our bodies—and our souls—need well-rounded, nourishing meals in order to thrive.

Far beyond our own words or wisdom, Scripture ultimately speaks for itself—so we can give our kids freedom and opportunity to engage with it personally.

We can grow in our Bible literacy one day at a time—not out of guilt or legalism but because Scripture is God’s gracious gift to us.

As God grows us into his likeness, so too our kids can grow in following our example—even when it’s not perfect.

When praying, reading Scripture, or taking kids to church seems counterproductive, we can remember that God gives us structures like these for our growth and flourishing.

More pressing than even the chores and to-dos that surround us as moms is our need to sit at God’s feet and be nourished by his Word.

Memorizing God’s Word gives us a storehouse of truth at the ready to inform, encourage, and preserve us in the midst of motherhood’s demands.
