This is the conclusion of our discussion about managing our homes in a series I’ve called, Maytag, messes and meals. You can listen to this post here on Refresh Her podcast.
In the previous posts we’ve dealt with the laundry, the housekeeping and the meals. Let’s wrap up with some thoughts that will encourage you in your day to day management.
- Prepare your heart for the day. Talk to the Lord about your day and your work. Give it to Him.
Ps. 90:17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
Proverbs 16:3
Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
So often, the things I worried about and wondered how I’d get done never happened! Giving it to the Lord keeps you from worrying before it takes place, then allows you to see a gracious God moving things out of the way and/or giving you strength to get it done.
But it starts with preparing your heart.
