As we delight in Scripture and disciple our children in its truths, we show them the joy of putting the Word before the world.

In seasons where we struggle to sit down for a quiet time or retain what we’ve read, we can creatively seek out ways to put God’s Word always before us.

While we can subsist on snacks for a while, our bodies—and our souls—need well-rounded, nourishing meals in order to thrive.

We can grow in our Bible literacy one day at a time—not out of guilt or legalism but because Scripture is God’s gracious gift to us.

As God grows us into his likeness, so too our kids can grow in following our example—even when it’s not perfect.

When praying, reading Scripture, or taking kids to church seems counterproductive, we can remember that God gives us structures like these for our growth and flourishing.

More pressing than even the chores and to-dos that surround us as moms is our need to sit at God’s feet and be nourished by his Word.

We can help our kids connect meaningfully to Scripture by using storytelling tools to show them the relevance and richness of the text.

Journals, devotional books, and reading plans can be helpful, but our hope is in the Lord and the work he can do through them.

Our family devotions may not always (or ever) be deep, ordered, and disciplined, but they can be an opportunity to delight in the Lord together.

While we shouldn’t give up quiet times with God, let’s remember that our time with God doesn’t always have to be quiet.

If we want to experience fruit in motherhood, we must remain in Christ—thankfully, remaining isn’t that complicated!
