Mothers have a special blessing to supply them for their parenting role. God wants to bless the ‘Marthas’. Martha is an elder sister so she’s used to sacrificing, giving and serving. It comes from a place of love. But she forgot that Jesus was in her home and that she can receive and rest in Him. Miriam was Moses’ elder sister. She was running by the riverside to make sure that Moses was safe. Miriam told the Egyptian princess about her mum who can nurse Moses for her. Miriam was worried and looking out for Moses’ well-being. Elder sisters must learn how to let go when God comes into their lives. James 1:19-20 - Sarai became Sarah. She was a domineering woman and she needed to know that she is a princess (Sarah means Princess) in Christ, that she can rest. We need to learn to be quick to listen, and slow to speak. This is humility and helping to improve the family connection. God wants a woman to woo her man: to respect her husband and have a great relationship with her husband. Don’t only talk with him about the kids. Remember that you and your husband are important too. This will prevent loneliness in the future when the kids are all grown up and when only you and your husband are left at home. “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” (James 1:19-20 NKJV) You need the Lord in every step of your life. Students who are believers have an unfair advantage: parents can’t follow them into the exam hall but the Holy Spirit can. God wants to be unfairly good to you. God is kind and merciful: He also knows how you feel and your pains. God calls us endearingly by name: Martha, Martha. He knows that we are concerned about many things. God wants us to stay young. Even though we grow in age, we can still have the same youthful appearance. The power of Christ in us has the ability to do that. What is the good part that Mary chose? Mary saw Jesus as the Almighty God who came to serve us. Mary could do the right thing at the right time: she was the only one who anointed Jesus for His burial before His death.
