Praise God for the divine institution of Motherhood and for loving caring mothers everywhere.  If you are reading this (and for those who are not), you owe a debt of gratitude to your mother. It is altogether fitting and proper that there is a special day where we honor our mothers.  The woman who has given birth to us, nourished and provided for us as we grew from dependent children to independent adults.  Mothers wear many hats; maid, cook, nurse, doctor, chauffer, counselor, just to name a few of the tasks lovingly performed by these extraordinary women.  Whether she is called, mother, mom, mama, ma or dear; mothers we honor you and we thank God for you.  We love you and we recognize your contributions to the Kingdom through Godly children.  Of course you know that our love for you transcends one day of recognition, however, today is tangibility.  What we feel and say today is representative of everyday of the year.  Mothers, we honor you today and every day.  Be blessed on this, your day.

He is alive!  This proclamation has thundered a message of hope across the centuries.  He is risen as He said He would! “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19).  He is faithful to His word.  In all things, Jesus can be trusted to keep His word.  He said He came that we might have life and that we might have life more abundantly.  For your life and for my life, Jesus has regard for its preservation, protection, perpetuity, provisions, punishment, and ultimately its perfection in glory.  Because He lives, we can have life in its fullest measure.

As the people of God, we have resurrection power.  We can (and should) experience His resurrection power in every facet of our lives.  That power will keep us and deliver us out of life’s difficult circumstances.  If it is a dying relationship, He is able to resurrect it.  Be it husband and wife, parents and children, neighbor and neighbor, most of all, man and his God.  Fractured relationships are not the will of our heavenly Father.  It does not matter how foreboding life’s experiences are, we have His resurrection power in us.  Let Him live in your relationships.  He is alive and we enjoy His protection.

I know what the Chronicle and Time Magazine has to say about terrorist and terrorism, the pandemic, but I choose to let the word come alive in my spirit.  “Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple” (Psalm 15:4).

Happy Resurrection Day!

“For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” (Malachi 3:6) We thank God that who He is, is who He has always been, and who He has always been is who He will always be.  He is the great I AM.  He is not subject to the whims or capricious ideas of a fickle society.  His immutability allows us to know Him in a real and personal way.  We know that He loves us with an unconditional love, therefore we can trust Him in every facet of our lives.  We know that He is Jehovah-Jireh, “the Lord provides” and will always be so.  Provides: “pro” means before: “vide”, to see.  He is the God who provides, i.e.: the God who has seen all our needs and has already met them.  Just as God provided for Abraham in Genesis twenty-two, so will He do for you in 2021.  He does not change.  The Lord said in Exodus 15:26:  “…If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians:  for I am the Lord that healeth thee.”

Just as He was Jehovah-Rapha at the bitter waters of Marah and Elim, He is still “the Lord who heals you”.  He can be to CORONAVIRUS today what He was to bitter waters.  God promised that if the people obeyed Him they would be free from the diseases that plagued the Egyptians.  Rapha means heal, restore, cure.  Healing is what God is. God does not change!  What He was, He is.  What He is, He will always be.  You can, dear ones, trust Him in everything.  He is a keeper.  Praise God for His immutability.
