Her work outside the home will be blessed and fruitful because of the hand of the Lord on her life. When she puts all her trust and care into God’s mighty hands, she will have everything necessary to raise godly children in the midst of a wicked culture. God gives the Holy Spirit to every mother who submits to Him and through Him gives her great strength and grace to endure in difficult times. Our calling is accomplished no matter where we find ourselves every day-in or outside the home. As mothers we are on this earth for a short period of time to accomplish God’s will in our lives. In a season-work will be done, children will grow up, and eternity will be found. Only those efforts focused on Christ will last throughout eternity. “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). Our focus is solidified in Christ when we commit ourselves to daily prayer and Bible reading. However, remaining focused on God’s purpose and plan for the family will help us resist the efforts of Satan, the world, and the flesh that attempt to pull us away from the cares of our families. The lure of making more money or pleasing man can become a temptation. It’s easy to get distracted when so many hours of the day are outside the home. “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:1). By keeping in mind that God is watching and blessing us, we can take great peace and strength to accomplish many tasks above and beyond the expectations of others. Our ultimate goal is to please God with all the work we do. Whether a mother works in or outside the home, we are still expected to work as to God. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom” (Ecclesiastes 1:9). A spirit-filled, fearless mother models unrelenting faith in God and prepares her children to deal with the world in the same manner. However as soldiers in God’s army, we can stand fearless and courageous knowing that God is in control and encamps His angels around our children as we pray for them. Satan will tempt us with fearful thoughts about everything that could go wrong. Do not be afraid do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. We recognize that our situation could be worse, so we must discipline ourselves to resist complaining in the midst of God being a blessing to our family. Persevering through this season without complaining shows God, our family, and the world how bright the light of Christ is within us. Grumbling and discontentment go hand in hand. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life” (Philippians 2:14-16). “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation. To trust in God will take time, but little by little we will see Him work the miraculous on our behalf. When mothers learn to trust in God to take care of our families while we are apart, we grow in our faith and He can use us to do great things for the kingdom. Trusting in God is the foundation for every believer who finds themselves in circumstances they didn’t choose.
