To Be Spiritually Reborn
A mother’s loving wisdom, patience, dedication and self-sacrifice act as the womb for the development of her children’s mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. Her loving wisdom is indispensable in providing her children with the knowledge and spiritual understanding they need to become the person that the Lord has Purposed for them to be.
“She is a Tree of Life to them that lay hold on her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.”
Proverbs 3:18
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.
“Nicodemus saith unto Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”
John 3:3-5
The Value of a Mother’s Loving Wisdom
What greater gift is there in a child’s life than their mother’s loving wisdom?
A mother’s spiritual guidance not only impacts her children, but it also influences the world around her. It provides incomparable value to the Lord here on earth and is invaluable to Him in the life to come. Despite the trials and tribulations along the Way, a mother should never lose sight of the honor God places upon her. Her role is irreplaceable in leading her children along Paths of Righteousness and into Joys of Heavenly Love.
“Hear, ye children, the Instruction of a Father, and attend to know understanding.
“For I Give you Good Doctrine, forsake ye not My Law.
“For I was My Father’s Son, tender and only Beloved in the sight of My Mother.
“He Taught Me also, and said unto Me, Let Thine Heart retain My Words: keep My Commandments, and Live.
“Get Wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the Words of My mouth.
“Forsake Her not, and She shall preserve thee: love Her, and She shall keep thee.”
“Wisdom is the Principal thing; therefore get Wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding.”
“Exalt Her, and She shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to Honor, when thou dost embrace Her.” –
“Hear, O My Son, and receive My Sayings; and the years of Thy Life shall be many.”
Proverbs 4:1–9
Understanding Spiritual Things Spiritually
Throughout the Bible the Lord uses physical things to teach us about spiritual things. This is His speech, and it is the language spoken throughout the Heavens. Through that “speech” He teaches us about the Wisdom of the Ages.
In Matthew 12:38-50, just after Jesus had performed many miracles among the people in Jerusalem, religious leaders of that time gathered to devise ways to destroy Him.
At first, those religious leaders tried to discredit Jesus by tempting Him with “theological” traps of their own making. Recognizing what they were attempting to do, Jesus rebuked them. Immediately thereafter He was informed that “His mother and brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him.” He replied by saying “Who is My mother? And who are My brethren?”
His mother and siblings were likely not initially delighted with that answer! However, as Jesus continued to explain, “whosoever shall do the Will of My Father which is in Heaven, the same is My brother, and sister and mother.” He revealed what it means to be born again in the Light of His Righteousness.
Spiritually, becoming the Lord’s “brother or sister” describes becoming related to Him in thought and affection. Being His “mother” describes providing the loving wisdom required to receive the Truth and Goodness of His Love within our souls.
Honoring a Mother’s Loving Wisdom
So, ask yourself: is there anything more valuable to the Lord than a mother’s wisdom, guiding her children toward Heaven? Is there anything that can replace her?
“She shall Give to thine head an ornament of Grace: a crown of Glory shall She deliver to thee.
“I have Taught Thee in the Way of Wisdom; I have led Thee in Right Paths.
“When Thou goest, Thy steps shall not be straightened; and when Thou runnest, Thou shalt not stumble.
“Take fast hold of Instruction, let Her not go; keep Her, for She is Thy Life.”
Proverbs 4:10-13
The Spiritual Meaning of Scripture embraces Paul’s heartfelt advice to compare “…. Spiritual things with Spiritual.” – 1 Cor. 2:13 and 2 Cor. 3:6. It explores the Way the Lord brings forth the Beauty of His Love into fruition within your soul.
