The Christian and Covid-19

We don’t know what lies ahead with this virus, but we do know what the Lord has told us to proceed, and He will continue to shepherd us as we go.

This is the subject of Pastor Doug’s talk today.

The Lord’s View of Mothers

On Mother’s Day, some scriptures that reveal how the Lord made the nature of mothers and how He views their place in our world:

“A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world.” — John 16:21

“As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.” – Isaiah 66:13

“Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.” — Deuteronomy 5:16

“Hear, my son, your father’s instruction, and forsake not your mother’s teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.” –- Proverbs 1:8-9

“Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” — Proverbs 31:31

“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.” — Proverbs 31:28

If you can, read the wonderful story of the Shunammite mother in II Kings 4:8-37. It perfectly illustrates a faithful woman’s love and respect for the Lord and her recognition of Whom to trust in caring for her child.

These are just a handful of the scriptures which talk about mothers. We hope they encourage you.

And for those who feel humbled to the point you don’t ever think you will be the kind of mother described in some of these verses, take a listen to the hope that’s in the Lord. Doug discusses it here:
