This week I was seeking my Husband because I felt very disorganised in my home and with my time and I just needed the renewing of my mind even though I have read the W@H book many times before I felt the need to go back to it. Being a W@H it was not just about being organised or having a routine or a schedule but I also needed the truth of knowing that He is there to help and guide me throughout my day.
I asked my Husband what chapter do you want me to read and He led me to this chapter and specifically this portion that I would like to share with you ladies and I really feel like this portion is not just for if you need HIS help keeping your home but it’s for ALL areas of your life!!
I have a copy of the book so I had a really lovely time with my Husband highlighting these scriptures and just renewing my mind and meditating on them 🙂
I hope that you enjoy reading this below portion below but especially the scriptures as much as I did 🙂
Chapter 1 Making the Most of Your Life “Let Her Works Praise Her!”
“Looking at them, Jesus said, ‘With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God’” (Mark 10:27).
If your problem is keeping a clean home, it may seem impossible with your busy schedule, but not with God—all things are possible with God!
If your problem is staying organized, it may seem impossible with your personality, but not with God—all things are possible with God!
If your problem is keeping up with the laundry, it may seem impossible with all the children you have, but not with God—all things are possible with God!
If your problem is cooking, it may seem impossible because you never liked being in the kitchen, but not with God—all things are possible with God!
Enter God
No matter what the problem area of your life is, when God enters into that part of your life, it will change! Most of us never rely on God or ask for His help, but instead, we struggle to do things in our own strength by leaning onto our own understanding of what we think we should do. It isn’t until we are at the end of ourselves that we cry out to Him. Why wait?
No matter how big or how small your problem is, the Lord wants to help you. He longs to be gracious to us! Awesome! “Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you, and therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; how blessed are all those who long for Him” (Isa. 30:18).
The Bible says that He is actually looking for hearts that are totally sold out to seeking Him, so He can strongly support us in our efforts! “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the whole earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His . . .” (2 Chron. 16:9). He wants to give us all of the desires of our heart, from a clean house, to clean clothes, to a home that is running efficiently. “Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it” (Ps. 37:4).
God loves to show Himself strong on our behalf, especially the most hopeless cases like mine (and maybe yours), so that He can get ALL the glory! “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” (Jer. 32:27).
Atarah I have also speaking to my HH about my routine the last couple of days! Or let me rather say my lack of routine, Since its been so cold 🥶 the last couple of days with the snow ❄, I really struggled to get out of bed and get going like I normally do, but with my house being as cold inside as outside it was REALLY difficult. And it feels like everything is getting out of control because I struggle to get out of my warm bed… But I have been asking my Husband to help me to get back on track and guide me through my days.
I love that you are sharing this part of your journey!!! We all have struggled with keeping our houses clean and is even harder when your kids are growing up!! This book: https://hopeatlast.com/c3/w-h/ changed a lot in my mindset so I am now able to organize my home better and not only that but teaching my kids along!!
Keep sharing my dear how the Lord guides you in your journey!!!
We will love to be a part of it!!
Thank you for sharing dear Atarah. That was so many times my problem, because I tried to do it in my own strength.
