3 Routines for Daughters of God

Routines are important.  I think we all learned that during the pandemic when the quarantine interrupted everyone’s.  Having a routine is good for maintaining mental health.  During times of uncertainty, a routine can help you cope with stress and anxiety because it gives you a sense of control.  Routines give your day structure and helps you to be organized and focused.

Structuring your day with routines also helps to form good daily habits and improves productivity.  But routines should not be limited to work tasks; you should also develop self-care routines, and as a daughter of God, that should include spiritual self-care.  The lifestyle of a daughter of God has special habits that should be incorporated into your day, week, and throughout your year.

“Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised.”

– Proverbs 31:30 AMP

Morning Devotion

After my prayer time, I like to go right into my morning devotion.  I use the Bible app’s Bible plan feature to find a plan for my morning devotions.  There are so many to choose from on every topic.  I pick ones that are centered around women most of the time, but I also choose ones that are related to topics I want to learn more about or need help with.  This is my favorite time of day.  It really sets the tone for the entire rest of the day.

Another option is a Christian subscription box. I recommend Butterfly Box because not only do the beautiful products help you to keep Jesus at the center of your life, it supports other Christian businesses and is owned by women. If you would like to try Butterfly Box, use the code RUBIESORPEARLS20 for a 20% discount on your first box, or RUBIESORPEARLSBOGO for a free surprise box with your first box. You can only use one code at checkout, so make sure you choose wisely!

Affirmations

I must admit, I forget to do this quite a bit!  As I mentioned earlier, Satan loves trying to implant lies into the minds of God’s children.  Speaking Christian affirmations over yourself each morning edifies you and combats his efforts to undermine your confidence. Here is a set of Christian affirmations to print out and say each morning while you get ready for the day.

Praise and Worship

Praise and worship is not just for church!  Focusing on God’s goodness is so uplifting, especially during times of uncertainty.  As such, I have music on all day and even sometimes through the night.  I have multiple playlists: I have a morning playlist that gets me hyped at the start of the day.  With songs like Trading My Sorrows (Israel & New Breed), this is especially helpful on Mondays.  I have a playlist for while I am working with songs like Give Him Glory (Deandre Patterson), so I remember Who I am working for.  And I have two different playlists that I play at night whenever I have trouble getting to sleep.  Which one I play depends on what I think the problem is.  Next to morning devotion, praise and worship is my favorite part of my daily routine.

2. Weekly Routines

We have to learn the scriptures for ourselves and not just to memorize them for memory’s sake, but so that we apply God’s ways, not the world’s, to every aspect of our daily lives.  Before we do anything, we should find out what God’s instructions are and do what He says.  We also should know scriptures so that we can use them to defend ourselves when under spiritual attack.  It is our sword!

I am excited to start my first creative arts worship Bible.  Illustrating your faith with Bible journaling is a creative way to meditate on God’s Word! Have you ever illustrated your Bible before?

Serving/Ministry

We can’t just sit at church and not serve.  We have all been given spiritual gifts to use to serve both in and outside of church.  Mine is teaching.  At church, I usually serve in Children’s Church in some capacity, and I definitely love volunteering for Vacation Bible School.  I once started my own ministry doing free reading assessments for parents of school-aged children.  

Outside of church, we should be practicing hospitality, discipling younger women, praying for others and the like. Hospitality we should practice as much as possible.  It can be as simple as sending someone you haven’t heard from in awhile a text to see how they have been.  Even better, surprise them with a handwritten note. It is really a matter of showing others the love of God, which is what serving and ministry is all about.

Holidays

We should celebrate the holidays of our faith: Christmas, Easter, Holy Week.  We should understand the meaning of them and make sure others do as well by minimizing pagan influences in our celebrations.

Missions

I have not gone on any missions trips, but this is definitely something that you can do in service to others.  We are all to spread the Gospel, near and far. Have you been on one? If not, where would you go?
