She opens her mouth with wisdom.
Proverbs 31:26 (NKJV)
“Teresa, the Word of God is like a well of water. I go to it every morning to dip my bucket in the well, and every morning there is always water. No matter how many days, years or decades pass, there is always water in the well.”
This was the gift of wisdom my own dear mother gave me tonight when we spoke. Her declaration of truth lifted my heart and inspired me. What a blessing it is to have a mother who speaks with the wisdom of the Word of God!
I hope that the conversations I have with my children as they get older will not be limited to giving instructions and reproofs, but rather will be filled with declarations of the truth of the Word and the faithfulness of its Writer.
Dear LORD, fearing You is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Proverbs 9:10). Fill me to the core with this wisdom so it will tumble out as words whenever I open my mouth. Make my speech peppered with truth from Your Word and help me communicate it so that my children will understand and grab hold of it even as they grow. Make my conversations with my children a blessing to them from their youth even into their adulthood. In Jesus’ name, amen.
