Today people all around us will take a moment to acknowledge and to honor the mothers and the women in their lives. It’s Mother’s Day 2024. This is the day it is fitting for us to take some time to reflect on the women among us because of how special they are to us.
In Luke 1:28-30 we find the scriptural account of the angel’s visit to Mary informing her that she would become the Mother of Jesus. Scripture says, “And having come in, the angel said to her, rejoice highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”
Scripture goes on, “Do not be afraid Mary, for you have found favor with God.” Mary was special to God. God was saying, “Mary, you are special to Me. My plans for life include your life.”
So, as we acknowledge the value of Mothers and women today, let’s do that by showing them how our lives reflect their lives.
Let’s all make sure we live in such a way that the mothers around us will rejoice in gladness and happiness, knowing they were chosen to be the moms, the wives, and the women we all know and love. Let’s be the angels in the lives of our mothers.
Often, we look at how the women around us live to decide if they are great moms and spouses. But it shouldn’t be that way. We ought to look at how we live as the way to show the value of what our mothers and women mean to life. Let’s live in ways that our mothers and women are blessed because of us and through us.
Perhaps there is no greater way for us to honor our mothers and women than for each of us to live in ways that would be the indication to the world around us that God Himself is with our mothers, our wives, and our daughters.
The scripture says that when Jesus was just 12 years old, He became separated from His parents while they were in Jerusalem for a feast. When Mary and Joseph found Him, the scripture says Jesus went with them back home to Nazareth, and there He lived under their parenting.
Jesus honored His parents by the way He lived before them. I’m sure the people who saw how He lived with His parents thought to themselves how amazing His parents must have been.
We have some amazing Mothers with us today. They are amazing, not because of how much they have much or how little they have, but because you and I are here living today as part of God’s plan for their lives.
So, as we honor our moms today, let’s make sure we do this because we have lived lives of honor, love, and sacrifice. Let’s honor mothers with lives of submission and faithfulness before God.
Your life is more valuable to your mom than the flowers, the food, and even the time you set aside today to give them.
So, let’s step up today. When the world sees us, it should exhaust itself by looking for the women who birthed us, because it will know those women must highly favored by God and by the people around.
Live a Delivered Life. Love you.
