Moments for Moms

On the Will of God

“The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD” (Proverbs 21:31, NIV).

It’s right and good to work hard. As moms we want to do the best we can at the responsibilities God has entrusted to us. We play a big part in whether our lives, and the lives of our children, are victorious. So we must be self-disciplined and alert and always growing stronger. We must train our children and teach them and pray for them. But the end result is up to God. We can do all the right things from the outside in, but only God can work from the inside out. And that’s where real success is determined—in the heart.

Lord, I want to be ready. I want to be found faithful. But I also want to be a woman of faith, trusting that You can win the battle regardless of how hard I try. Help me to believe more in You than I do in my own strength so that I might have faith for mighty victories in my life and in my family.
