Week 13: March 24 - March 30, 2003

LIKE A MOTHER

Key Passage: Isaiah 66: 12-13

You will enjoy her prosperity, like a child in its mother’s breast. The LORD says, "I will bring you lasting prosperity; the wealth of the nations will flow to you like a river that never goes dry. You will be like a child that is nursed by its mother, carried in her arms, and treated with love. I will comfort you in Jerusalem, as a mother comforts her child" TEV

God’s love and care for His children is very deep and intimate and it can only be likened to the Tender Loving Care of a mother to her little baby. Every mother is very precious in the life of her child. She carry’s the baby in her womb for about 9 months. Inside her womb, the baby is nourished through her umbilical cord. The delivery comes with great birth pangs, which she must go through to be a mother. At delivery, the umbilical cord is cut, but the baby is still fed and nourished from the mother’s breast. It clings so strongly as she sucks, sometimes digging its nails into her body. She dangles it in her arms to comfort it when it is crying and gently cleans it up when it messes up itself. She hears her faintest cry and seeks to satisfy all its needs. No wonder the great attachment between mothers and their children.

God’s attachment to us His children is even stronger. His breath gave man life in the beginning. When we were lost in our own ways through sin, he sought for us as a good shepherd, found us, cleaned us up and called us His own. The precious blood of His dear Son, Jesus, was the price He paid to set us free. It is wonderful that though God is our Father, yet He loves and cares for us like a mother. He nourishes, guides, protects and preserves us and provides for all our needs. He knows our pains and comforts us in our grief. He hears our faintest cry and treats us with loving-kindness. He has promised never to leave or forsake us. He said, "Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you" (Is 49:15).

In Genesis 17:1, God appeared to Abraham and said, "I am Almighty God." That is the revelation of God as the El Shaddai – the All-sufficient God; the One that is more than enough. The literal meaning of the Hebrew word "El Shaddai" paints the picture of God as the Double Breasted One. That reveals God as the All Sufficient Life-giver who feeds His children just as a mother feeds her child with breast milk for life, strength and nourishment. It is a well-known fact that the breast milk of a mother is sufficient for all the nutritional needs of a child. So is the tender loving care of our God. He is our good Shepherd and we shall not want (Ps 23:1).

Pray that you may experience the tender loving care of the Lord God Almighty. Pray for all mothers, especially for those at the troubled spots of the world.
