Day 4: Listen to God’s Word – Finding New Ways to Connect

As a busy mom, sitting down with an open Bible can sometimes feel like an impossible task. Between taking care of little ones, managing the home, and juggling a never-ending to-do list, it can be hard to carve out moments of uninterrupted time with God. But the beautiful thing about God's Word is that it’s always accessible—even when your hands are full.

If you’re struggling to find time to sit and read, consider finding new ways to engage with Scripture through audio resources. Whether it’s listening to the Bible, sermons, or podcasts, you can fill your heart with God’s truth while going about your day. Whether you’re driving to the grocery store, folding laundry, or taking a walk with the kids, there are so many ways to hear God’s Word and be spiritually nourished, no matter how busy your day is.

The Power of Audio Resources

In today's world, we have an abundance of audio resources that allow us to stay spiritually fed, even when we can’t sit down and read. Listening to Scripture and sermons on the go is a powerful way to ensure that God's Word is still central to our lives, even in the busiest seasons.

Audio resources give you the flexibility to hear God’s truth wherever you are—whether you’re running errands or making dinner. They help us stay connected to God in real-time, allowing His Word to speak into the moments of everyday life. It's a simple yet profound way to ensure that even when life is chaotic, our hearts remain rooted in Him.

How to Incorporate Audio Resources Into Your Day

Here are some practical ways to integrate listening to Scripture or sermons into your daily routine:

  • While driving: Whether it’s a trip to the grocery store or a longer drive, play a podcast or an audio Bible. This turns driving time into a moment to reflect and refocus your heart on God.

  • During chores: Folding laundry, cleaning the kitchen, or doing other housework provides an opportunity to fill your mind with truth. Play a podcast while you work to turn these routine tasks into moments of spiritual nourishment.

  • During your morning routine: While getting ready in the morning, put on a Scripture meditation or sermon to start your day with a focus on God’s Word.

  • While exercising or going for a walk: If you have time for a workout or a walk, it’s a great chance to listen to Scripture or a sermon. Moving your body and feeding your soul at the same time can be a refreshing and spiritually uplifting experience.

Final Encouragement

God’s Word is living and active, and whether you’re reading it or listening to it, it has the power to speak to you wherever you are. By incorporating audio resources into your daily routine, you can stay connected to God’s truth even when life feels busy or overwhelming. Embrace the flexibility of these tools and let them guide your heart and mind back to the Lord throughout your day.

Dish Duty: The Hidden Joys of a Full Sink

Why Having Dishes in the Sink is More Important Than You Think When you walk into a kitchen and see dishes piled high in the sink, you might think, “What a mess!” However, there’s more to this scene than meets the eye. Having dishes in the sink can serve several important functions in our daily lives, especially when viewed through the lens of the Gospel. 1. **A Reflection of Real Life** Firstly, dishes in the sink are a testament to life being lived. They represent moments of connection, creativity, and sustenance—much like the communal meals shared in Scripture. Jesus often broke bread with others, illustrating the importance of fellowship.

Instead of immediately rushing to clean, take a moment to reflect on the blessings that led to those dishes. Each plate and utens...
