Firing Up Faith & Family: Mom Support CommunityFrom Bitter to BlessedWe take a lesson from Naomi in the book of Ruth to face the difficulties in life with strong faith that responds to God’s promises. As 2 Peter tells us, we need to supplement our faith with many other values (i.e. gifts of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23). We’re not always going to do the right thing or think of God’s faithfulness in our lives, but Naomi shows us that we can turn that bitterness to blessings by having a devoted heart to God–even if we momentarily waver.

Firing Up Faith & Family: Mom Support CommunityWalk with God
Raising children in the way they should go takes more than we have naturally. With a steadfast faith in our heavenly father, we can be an overcomer in every parenting challenge. But only when our relationship with God comes first. We can pour all our time into nurturing our children, but if we don’t have a daily walk with God, our father, we will miss out on what our children need the most. Abraham (father of a multitude) shines a light on how his steadfast faith established God’s blessing on a multitude of generations.

As the mother of Timothy (who Paul calls his ‘true son in faith’), we learn that Eunice raised him in faith from birth.

We can’t know how difficult it was to have Timothy know the Holy Scriptures, but through whatever method Eunice instilled in him a ‘sincere faith’. As mothers that is our purpose from God to raise our children with wisdom and knowledge from God...
