Day 134 - 2 Kings 9-11 & John 5:1-24
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life." (John 5:24a ESV)
These words of Jesus aptly describe the greatest prayer a Christian mother can have for her child/children. I share this from first-hand experience. Of all the things my dear mother taught and still teaches me, the most important has been the supreme importance of faith in our Savior, a treasure she has fervently prayed for on my behalf my entire life. Thanks, Mom!
As you think of your mother, what is at the top of the list of things you thank her for? And come to think of it, what is at the top of the list of blessings you thank God for?
Oh, blest the parents who give heed
Unto their children's foremost need
And weary not of care or cost.
May none to them and heav'n be lost!
(Lutheran Service Book, CPH, 2006, # 862 St. 3)
Dear heavenly Father, thank You for the prayers of my faithful Mother. Keep all of Your children in Your tender care today so that we may continue to believe! In Jesus’ saving name. Amen.
Thank God for your mother today. “See” you at the Communion table this morning!
