• “If I am content to heal a hurt slightly, saying ‘Peace, peace,’ where is no peace; if I forget the poignant word ‘Let love be without dissimulation’ and blunt the edge of truth, speaking not right things but smooth things, then I know nothing of Calvary love.” – Amy Carmichael

Determined and Creative by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 02/29/12

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: A mom’s work is never done. With middle-of-the-night feedings, endless laundry, and various sicknesses, how can a mom with little children spend time in prayer and the Word of God? I asked some older moms how they did it when their children were little.

“You have to be determined and creative.”

“I would ask God to protect those times. Children really need to know that it is a priority for you.”

“I remember a lot of times during those years rocking a sick child in my arms and bouncing another on my feet and turning on the Bible on cassette.”

“It may not be easy; but if you really, really want to meet with God, you will find a way to do it.”

Nancy: No matter how busy you are today, it’s crucial that you find time to meditate on God’s Word. That’s your lifeline! Pray with the psalmist who said, “I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.”

  • “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards
