Who designed moms?

Tuesday - 5/15 - Read Luke 2:41-52

It's ironic but true that the creator, designer, sustainer of the universe was submitting and obeying a human being in Luke 2:41-52.

It's true! Jesus did create and design human life (John 1:1-3). He designed family. He designed a mom's (and dad's) relationship with children. In other words, he knew how it would work best.

When He designed family did He have our good in mind? Duh!

So, would we expect Jesus to react to his mom (and dad) in any other way but in keeping with the way He designed it to work in the first place?

What about you? Are you submitting and obeying mom? Why should you? I'm sure there are many times that you feel you could call the shots in your own life better than your mom. Right?

Why submit to mom? Why obey mom?

Do you think that God wants to direct your life?

God will use your mom (and dad) as the primary means of showing you his will for your life when you are still in the nest. It is crucial that we recognize this and follow God's plan as revealed through your parent's (mom's) direction for your life.

The next time you think you know better than your parents, perhaps these thoughts will bring you back to sanity.

We sent you home with a cake mix to bake a cake for mom last Sunday. Did you bake it? Did you use the right ingredients? Did you clean up after you baked the cake? Let that cake remind you of the ingredients of submission, obedience, respect, honor, care and concern you need to use every day in your relationship with your mom.
