The seven words are important to all of us and I want to find out what the BIBLE says

ABOUT LIFE

ABOUT LOVE

ABOUT LONGEVITY

What must we do to have a long life? What must we do to see many good days?

We must love the Lord, keep his commands and fear the Lord.

We must not say evil things and tell lies. Instead of doing evil, we must do good. We must also love peace.

That’s what the BIBLE says. Please read: Psalm 91:16; Proverbs 3:2; Proverbs 10:27; Psalm 34:12

 ABOUT FRIENDSHIP

ABOUT HEALTH

ABOUT WEALTH

ABOUT HAPPINESS

“SPOIL YOUR MUM”

“Don’t forget Mother’s Day – 13th May. Cards from only 99c”

That’s what one The Warehouse Mailer says. In The Warehouse Books & DVD Mailer I find

“BOOKS FOR MUM

More of Mum’s favourite titles for less!” and

“DVDS FOR MUM more of Mum’s favourite titles for less!”

In a shop window here in town I see a “WISH LIST

Breakfast in bed, New Slippers, Robe, Jewellery, Scarf, Cosmetics”

Have you ever heard or read Deborah’s story? It is a true story. Deborah was “A MOTHER IN ISRAEL”.

She was a patriotic Woman. She was a woman who supported her country Israel vigorously. She was associated with Barak. We are finding her story in the book of Judges in the BIBLE in the Old Testament.

She was not only the leader (Judge) of Israel, but she was also a prophetess. And she was married. Lappidoth was her husband.

At that time Israel was in the hands of Jabin because they did evil. Deborah called Barak to deliver Israel. Barak did not want to go alone and Deborah  agrees to accompany Barak to battle.

She inspires  Barak to action and sings a song of victory. She is also bothered by the indifference of the tribes and she rebukes them.

What a woman,  “A MOTHER IN ISRAEL” . In her song she says, “Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel .” Judges 5:7

Read the whole story in chapters four and five of Judges.

Deborah was “A MOTHER IN ISRAEL” and we need more mothers like Deborah.

The Christian Church is the true Israel. (Romans  9:6-8; Romans 9:30-32; Romans 10:12-13; Galatians 3:6-9) We have mothers like Deborah in our Churches, but we need more.

 At this Mother’s Day let us ask the Lord to raise up more “MOTHERS IN ISRAEL “.
