Happy Mother's Day

John 19:26-27, NKJV

²⁶When Jesus, therefore, saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” ²⁷Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home.

Selah: to pause, to reflect

What day is today? Today is Mother’s Day! I want to give a Mother’s Day shout out to my beautiful mother, aka, “Sweet Ruthie” She is a precious GEM, a one of kind.

Jesus is our first example of how we are to love our mother. Jesus, from the cross, sees His mother Mary in grief, says to His beloved disciple John, “Behold thy mother”. I have heard several teachings that say Jesus was making sure that His mother would be provided for after He is gone. There were other children born to Mary and I question why Jesus did not entrust the care of His mother to His siblings? To me, it was a “Selah moment”. It’s probably just me pondering over this question. A question, I believe, will be answered when I get to glory, but I believe Jesus knew the heart of John and that John loved Him.

If from the cross Jesus reached out to His beloved disciple and friend to ensure the lively hood of His mother, how can we, who are present with our mother do less? We are to love and cherish our mother just as Jesus did. It is ok to call mom and wish her a Happy Mother’s Day, but even better is to spend time with her, if possible. Make her Mother’s Day special. In fact, make everyday special. You only

get one mother. She may not be perfect, but she is the one God gave you, whether you were born under her heart or in her heart. Bring her flowers and a gift, if possible. My mother loves having a new outfit to wear when we taker her out. I enjoy the smile it brings. Don't give mom what you like, give her what she likes, even if it is as simple as a card. My mother often said to me and my siblings,”Give me flowers while I yet live so I can see the beauty they bring”.

Jesus, help us to be the Son or daughter to whom you would entrust your mother ~ Selah

Miriam

Miriam was the big sister of Moses. Her name (sometimes rendered as Mary in English) means 'bitter' although it could also signify 'one who loves or is loved by Yahweh'. Yahweh means 'the self-existent one'. Yahweh is one of the ways the children of Israel referred to God. Meet the family Amram and Jochebed were the father and mother of Miriam, Aaron and Moses. Moses was the youngest of the three yet became the leader of the pack (Exodus 2:3-4; Exodus 6:20; Numbers 26:59). Moses was the man who led Israel out of Egypt. As the big sister of the family Miriam knew all the secrets. Women often get to know about things that men don't. When Pharaoh of Egypt decreed the death of all Israel baby boys in a desperate attempt to curb the growth of Israel, Amram and Jochebed put baby Moses into a waterproof basket and set it on the river in an attempt to save his life. It was Miriam who was watching the basket when the daughter of Pharaoh discovered it. It w

What Happen To Your Rulership?

My desire is for women to be restored to their rightful place of rulership of Grace, Femininity, Beauty, Temperance, and Excellence. Together they work from within and shine outwardly. The enemy of our soul works counterclockwise in that he uses the exterior and destroys what is on the inside. There is a direct correlation between rulership and judgment. In order to effectively rule, there must be the practice of sound judgment. When rulership is void of sound judgment, a poor rulership is inevitable. Rulership is a choice. You can either rule or be ruled. Walking in rulership is important because it sets order and establishes boundaries. God (YAH) has given us rulership over our conduct, appearance, and speech. These things have rulership over you by choice. Rulership is the difference between YAH's people and the world. Rulership is living the way YAH (God) intended for us to live before the foundation of the world. It is time to take a long hard look in the mir

Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times. 7 You shall keep them, O Lord , You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
