This is the Day Rejoice

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

Our older episodes might be a little cringy (to our own ears at least!) but the Word of God holds true, regardless. Since Elizabeth is STILL silent with a terrible case of laryngitis, Monika brings it back to this encouraging teaching through Psalm 118:1-4. God's hesed love is merciful, given freely, even when we are in the most pathetic state. WAY better than a box of chocolates - it never runs out and you always know what you're going to : steadfast love. ________________________ When this is the day discouragement, frustration, sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, bitterness, or whatever other sinful or challenging emotions surface in our relationships, we can look to Christ and his steadfast love, which endures forever. We rejoice in that truth, always! ________________________ Resources: Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

Sending Good Thoughts | Loving Others in Trials

Have you ever been in the midst of pain, and someone's words to you caused more hurt, instead of help? We are called to season our words with grace, as Colossians 4:6 instructs, so that we know how to respond to each person. What we say, and how we say it, truly matters. It has the power to heal or to hurt. We speak Scripture to encourage others, but we must use it appropriately, as Ephesians 4:29 teaches, tailoring our words to fit the situation. When unsure of how to respond in a conversation, it's wise to pray for guidance. And if nothing comes to mind, sometimes the best thing to do is simply listen. Often, listening is more comforting than any words we could speak. If we are wise, our words will bring life and refreshment to those who hear them. ________________________ When this is the day someone in your life is hurting, remember the power of your words. Proverbs 12:18 warns, "There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Let your words be wise, gentle, and full of grace. Speak with sweetness and care, as Proverbs 16:24 says, "Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body." ________________________ Resources: When You See Box Set Board book by Becki Dudley [https://a.co/d/07CRPxEp] Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

Astronauts, Doctors, and Lawyers, Oh my! | Training Up Children

What if one of the most influential things you ever do is happening right now in the daily work of raising your children? In this episode, we take a clear and practical look at Proverbs 22:6 and what it means to train children up in the way they should go. Solomon wrote Proverbs to teach his children, reminding us that parents are the primary disciplers, while grandparents, church leaders, and mentors come alongside to reinforce truth. We discuss how children are shaped and imprinted over time through consistent teaching, godly example, correction, and a steady diet of God's Word. This encouraging conversation reminds us that Proverbs 22:6 is a principle - not a guarantee - but faithful parenting is never wasted, no matter the outcome. ________________________ When this is the day you're tired, you have cramps, you have too much to do, and you just want to phone in the day, remember that kids are a gift from the Lord, Psalm 127. And we must steward that gift well. 1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God ________________________ Resources: The Remarkable Bible Word Search Book [https://a.co/d/047bidYw] Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.

Give me this Day What I Want | Praying in Parenthood

Prayer is another principle of "one anothering" in Scripture. We often think of prayer as simply getting on our knees to ask God for something. But this word for prayer means more than that - it means to seek, ask, beg, or implore. The prayer described in this passage is fervent and continuous, actively bringing about change. The person seeking the Lord is a righteous man who loves God, knows he is a sinner, and believes in the work of Christ on the cross, following Him faithfully. The powerful prayer of this righteous man is very effective. James gives us the example of Elijah, who prayed for the rain to stop and then, three and a half years later, prayed for it to return. We must diligently pray for others in this same way. It brings encouragement and refreshment to the soul of the person for whom we pray - and to our own hearts. ________________________ When this is the day you want to righteously bring up your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, then get so deeply acquainted with the Word of God that it is never far from your lips. Pray for obedience to God's law; that is His will for you as a believer. ________________________ Resources: Face to Face: Praying the Scriptures for Intimate Worship Paperback by Kenneth D.
