In the Word: Break Through Grief

Welcome to Hope Mommies In the Word devotionals. Over the next few weeks, we will be meditating on Psalm 19 together. As we study these truths together, we’d love you to use the comments as a place to dialogue with us about what you are learning and share your answers to the questions below. We pray that you hearts will be encouraged as you dig into God’s Word each week with us.

“More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.”
Psalm 19:10

READ:

As you return to your life, and take steps forward on this earthly ground again, I want to encourage you that the “new normal” can be beautiful. But to get there, you are going to have to take a big step, if you have not already. Moving forward in life means coming to a day when you break through your grief to say that there is Someone more valuable to you than your child, than being a mother, and than your family. I say this with the deepest sensitivity toward you, as I would also personally say this exclusively about God.

Modern life is fast, filled with new posts, new statuses, and many changes—but true delight is found in what is timeless and unchanging. It is found in the Lord—revering Him as God over me and Master in me, the One upon whom I can depend in all situations for His infinite wisdom, sovereignty, and goodness. And in the rules and precepts of the Word, more of God can be discovered. David could say that he loved the Word of God more than owning the greatest riches, and more than the sweetest desire satisfied. The Word is a wellspring of life to those who come and drink; it is where I find a dear Savior and submit to a trustworthy Master, my all in all circumstances.

REFLECT:

1. In what ways has God demonstrated His supreme wisdom, sovereignty, and goodness in your life?
2. What steps can you take this week to grow in your esteem of the Lord?
