SCRIPTURE
Psalm 71:1-6
1 In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 Rescue me and deliver me in your righteousness; turn your ear to me and save me.
3 Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of evil and cruel men.
5 For you have been my hope, O Sovereign LORD, my confidence since my youth.
6 From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you.
OBSERVATION
While growing up, the place for security and protection was always by my mother's side. reading Isaiah 66:10. God, the almighty Creator, always wants us, His creatures, to know Him and His love. In Scripture, God uses many different pictures and examples to reveal Himself to us. Isaiah 66:12-13 states, “As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap. As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you.” Here, God compares Himself to the image of a “human mother.” Not only that, he also uses the image of a “mother hen” to describe His protection for Israel, “how many times I yearned to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her young under her wings” (Matthew 23:37).
APPLICATION
God, loves all his children and has placed moms as protectors, teachers, nurturers and caregivers. They love us and forgive us without any hesitation. There are many moms that would rather give up their lives than see their children hurt. Mary loved Jesus and was a caring mom. She protected him and cared for him while he was growing up. I can't imagine what it was like for her to watch Jesus being crucified for us. Rather, than see us hurt and suffering he took the beatings on his back and suffered on the cross so that we would not have to. He gave his life so that we could have life and more abundantly.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your love and expressing that type of love through our mothers. Thank you for moms who care for our children and nurture them through sacrificial giving. I pray a special blessing for all the moms that are reading this blog this morning. I pray that you would grant them favor, honor and true joy.
