Surviving vs. Beholding
We don’t have to go through motherhood in survival mode. God lifts our heads so that we can behold him—and be transformed.
We Are Being Trained Up, Too
Motherhood isn’t just about training up our children. It’s about God training us as his children to look to Christ and to look like Christ.
We Become What We Behold
Like anyone, moms are susceptible to the conforming pressures of the world. The world tries to squeeze us into its mold like the play dough in our playrooms.
Conformity comes from the word for “masquerade” – “to wear a mask” or “play a part.”...When our doxology and theology is conformed to the world, it gives the outward appearance of substance without an inward reality...
As we yield our minds to be renewed in the truth, our doxology and theology are transformed. The word reorients and realigns everything we think and do.
Transformation is radical, and sometimes messy, but in the end, glorious! The goal of transformation is to look like Jesus. The word of God (theology) reveals the glory of God (doxology) and the Spirit of God transforms us to be like the Son of God (2 Corinthians 3:17-18).
We are continually becoming what we will be – and what we are becoming is what we behold.
