Mother’s Day
“And
the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus
was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And
when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.” (John 2:1-3)
Today’s Morsel: I
often wonder if Jesus got spankings by His earthly mother the way that I did
when I was a kid. Even though Mary knew who Jesus was, she still
corrected Him and showed us that children should respect their earthly mother's
authority. And Jesus seemed to respect her for it. “And he went down with them,
and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these
sayings in her heart.” (Luke 2:51) Why? Because God cannot break His own
word. From creation, the first woman Eve is referred to as the mother of
all living (Genesis 3:20). Eve would become the mother of all living human
beings. Therefore, we honor mothers because we can all agree that our mothers
played a major role in our birth. Even Paul admonishes us, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right. “Honour thy father and mother; which is the first
commandment with promise…” (Ephesians
6:1-2) What was the promise? “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy
days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” (Exodus 20:12). So today, why not do
something special for your mother. Take her to dinner. Buy her some flowers.
Send her a card. Give her a call and tell her how much you love and appreciate
her. It could be the turning point in a long-lost relationship.
Sing: Thanks,
thanks, I give you thanks, for all you have done. I am so blessed, my soul has
found rest, O’ Lord, I give you thanks.
Thought For Today: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is
right. “Honour thy father and
mother; which is the first commandment with promise…” (Ephesians 6:1-2)
