Daddy's Daughter: Insights on My Dad's Sermon

As today is Mother's Day, my dad preached a special sermon from 1 Samuel 2:1-10, called A Mother's Prayer. In this passage, the Lord reveals to us two distinct traits a godly mother has:

1. First, a godly mother knows her God. She is seeking to know the Lord and His truth better and better every day. She seeks to understand God's goodness, His holiness, His power and His sovereignty. She wants to know God more.
2. Secondly, a godly mother responds rightly to her God. What is the right response to God, you ask? It's on our knees, humbly recognizing our total dependence and neediness of God. We're absolutely nothing without Him. We must recognize that and respond accordingly.

Though in this context the light is focused on mothers, these apply to every one. These two things show us as daughters, aunts, dads, grandpas, cousins, and every thing in between how we can be godly people.
