Mother's Day 2008

This is one of those Quiet Times I ended up putting off... I am not sure why. But, I guess it is better late than never.

Genesis 17:15-16
God also said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."

Exodus 20:12
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you."

Exodus 21:15,17
"Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death. "Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death."

Leviticus 19:3
"'Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your God."

Leviticus 21:10-12
"'The high priest, the one among his brothers who has had the anointing oil poured on his head and who has been ordained to wear the priestly garments, must not let his hair become unkempt or tear his clothes. He must not enter a place where there is a dead body. He must not make himself unclean, even for his father or mother, nor leave the sanctuary of his God or desecrate it, because he has been dedicated by the anointing oil of his God. I am the LORD."

Now, I am finding this last scripture quite interesting. I think all of these scriptures are brilliant and applicable to today, but this last one has caught my attention. I think I am going to meditate on it, let it roll around my head a bit and come back to it tomorrow.
