“When the Time Comes… Remember”
📖 “But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them…”
—John 16:4a (NKJV)
As mothers, we often wish we could shield our children from every difficulty.
But Jesus doesn’t always shield—He prepares.
He told His disciples hard truths about rejection, persecution, and being misunderstood for following Him.
Why?
So that when it happened, they would remember.
That is the heart of biblical motherhood—planting truth now so our children will remember it later.
You won’t always be able to speak in the moment when they’re challenged.
But if you’ve taught them the Word, Jesus will bring it back to their hearts at just the right time.
Let today be a reminder: you are not raising your children to be liked by the world…
You are raising them to know, follow, and remember Jesus.

Prayer:
Lord, help me sow Your truth faithfully into my children’s hearts. When the time comes, bring Your words to their remembrance. Make our home one that holds fast to You when the world tries to pull us away. Amen.
