Happy month of May 2022! As I write this the month of April is winding down and hopefully “April showers will bring May flowers” or so the saying goes. Gardens have been started and we have celebrated the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. The month of May brings celebrations of its own with Mother’s Day and Memorial Day that “Un-officially starts Summer”. We should celebrate the mothers in our lives, whether it be our own Mom or our wives who are the mother of our children. We have many mothers in our lives to celebrate.
It made me think of some of the mothers in the Bible that played key roles in the coming of Christ. None of them were perfect, but they showed strong faith in God. I’m sure there are other Mothers in the Bible that you are thinking of as well.
Just a few to consider:
Eve – Mother of All the Living
Sarah – Wife of Abraham
Rebekah – Wife of Isaac
Jochebed – Mother of Moses
Hannah – Mother of Samuel the Prophet
Bathsheba – Wife of David
Elizabeth – Mother of John the Baptist
Mary – Mother of Jesus
Each of these mothers had a part in the coming of Christ. God used each one of them. Today, mothers continue to play an important role in each of our lives. They have taken care of us from birth, taught us about Jesus and helped us grow into the people we are today, Love and think of your Mom today!
Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”
Proverbs 31:25-30
We are also continuing to pray for the man that the Lord has chosen for Oak Grove to be our Lead Pastor. I ask that you continue to pray for this man and his family during this time and that in God’s timing he will be here at Oak Grove. Also, be in prayer for our Deacons and their families and as we prepare to ordain our two newest Deacons, Larry Benett and Brent Crow and their families.
I pray that the month of May be a blessing to you and your family. Continue to join us each Sunday and Wednesday for Sunday school and Worship. Pray and lift up each other in all things for the Glory of Christ!
Bro Michael
