Day 229: Mother's Day, This Is The Day That The Lord Hath Made.
Read: Genesis 3:20 - 24, Matthew 20:20 - 23
All of God's creations have a beginning. All of God's creations are blessed. All of God's
creations are blessed because God is their beginning and God declared
all things He created "good" right from the very beginning. Right from
the very beginning Genesis 3:20 declares probably the best thing
Adam ever said, proclaims the greatest act any man could ever hope to do
to give highest honors to his wife and the greatest glory to God who was the Father: "Now the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living." Mother's day for mankind, the day the Lord hath made! I kinda smile at the blessing of this revelation. Come, friends let us rejoice and be glad in it.
From the very beginning, God has always had this perfect plan. God
created man in His own image, in His own image God created man and in
His wisdom, God set man as steward over the fish of the sea, the birds
in the sky, and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every
creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God blessed the man and woman - commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Yes, God in the fullness of His wisdom gave man stewardship. But in what I consider even the wiser move, God knew that man could never go at it
alone. Man was blessed by the presence of woman. Guys, we should always
be forever blessed.
(Matthew 20:20 - 23) What I can learn from a
Mom? First: the Approach to Jesus! She obviously knew that to get the
best in life for her children she knew that Jesus would be the only
relationship either one of them would ever need, so she made it a point
to come to Him. Next, she brought her children to the feet of Jesus.
Whether or not her motives were pure of heart matters little for what we
can learn from her. She brings herself, her kids, and her requests to
Jesus. The Bible tells us to bring our needs, families, and even wants
to Jesus. The Attitude toward Jesus – Worship! It is interesting to
watch children and discover how they carry the attitude of their
parents.
Mother's Day comes once a year. Some think that if
they buy their mother flowers and a card that they have fulfilled their
obligation for the rest of the year. If we only comprehended a 10th of
what our mothers did for us as children, and just how they would
literally die for us if needed, we would realize that one day is not
sufficient. Mothers Day should be a time to remind us that we have been
neglecting our duties as sons and daughters. This God created
relationship is wholly sacred, let us honor our mothers whether they are
still blessing us with home cooked meals or a memory. Honor your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land the Lord gives you.
Let Us Pray: Dear Lord, today I turn to you to give you thanks for my
mother. With your own gift of life, she bore me in her womb and gave me
life. She quietly, lovingly, tenderly, patiently cared for me and
taught me to walk and talk. She read to me and made me laugh. No one
delighted in my successes more; no one could comfort me better in my
failures. I am so grateful for how she mothered me and mentored me, and
even disciplined me. Please bless her, Lord, and comfort her. Help her
loving heart to continue to love and give of herself to others.
Strengthen her when she is down and give her hope when she is
discouraged. Most of all, Lord, on this Mother's Day, give all mother
the graces she most needs and desires today. I ask you this, in the name
of God the Father, Jesus, our Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
