Weekly devotion of May 5, 2008 SOUTH ASIAN
OUTREACH MINISTRY OF THE PRESBYTERY OF TROPICAL FLORIDA HAPPY MOTHER”S
DAY TO EVERY WOMAN Mother
is the most beautiful and comforting word in the world. Every
woman is a mother. She can be a sister, a daughter, an aunt, a
grandmother, a wife, but she plays the role
of a mother. She loves to take care of the people in her life. God
has given the greatest honor to a woman by making her a mother.
Woman creates the life in her body, nourishes the unborn baby with
her blood and then gives birth with great labor and a human being
comes in this world. Prophets and great men and women are born of
a woman. What an honor! Mother’s day is her day. Let us honor
our mothers. We should
also remember our mother who are in heaven and thank God
for their love and faith. “
Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long upon the
land which the Lord your God is giving you.”
Exodus 20: 12 Who
can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The
heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of
gain. She also rises while it is yet night, and provides food for
her household and a portion for her maidservants. She considers a
field and buys it: from her profits she plants a vineyard. She
extends her hands to the poor, yes she reaches out her hands to
the needy.
Proverbs 31: 10, 11, 15, 20, 21 Strength
and honor are her clothing; she shall rejoice in the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of
kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband
also, and he praises her. “Give
her the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in
the gates”.
Proverbs 31: 25,26,28, 31 Listen
to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when
she is old. Let your father and your mother be glad, and let your
mother who bore you rejoice.
Proverbs 23:22, 25 THOUGHT FOR
THE WEEK: My
son, keep your father’s command, and do not forsake the law of
your mother.
Proverbs 6:20 Please

ASIAN OUTREACH MINISTRY OF THE PRESBYTERY OF May
1st, 2008 is the National day of prayer and also the Ascension of
our Lord Jesus. Prayer
is the expression of human dependence on God and a connection to
our creator. We can bring all our burdens and requests with
thanksgiving to the alter of the Lord,
believing that He shall hear our prayers and will answer
us. Therefore
I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercession,
and giving of thanks be made for all men.
Timothy 2: 1 Therefore
by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God,
that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.
James 12: 15 And
the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise
him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
James 5: 15 ASCENSION
OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST The
Ascension of our Lord tells us that our Lord is exalted and
ascended Lord and savior. Before He was taken to the heaven, He
gave us the great commission, “Ye shall be my witnesses.” He
also said “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit. Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded
you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew
28: 19-20 Are
we witnessing for Christ or we are afraid of offending people? Now
when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken
up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
Acts 1: 9 And
while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold,
two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of
Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus,
who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner
as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:10-11 He
lifted up His hands and blessed them. Now it came to pass, while
He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into
heaven.
Luke 24:50-51-51 Then
the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which
Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped
Him; And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority
has been given to me in heaven and on earth”. THOUGHT
FOR THE WEEK: Jesus
is with us always, even to the end of the age.

OUTREACH MI
NIS People
all over the world want to belong, to be accepted and to be loved
just as they are. “Accept me” is the secret wish of everyone.
Some of us have hard time accepting people who are not from their
group, religion, race or nationality. We make our own judgments,
according to our own mantle level and thinking. The good news of
the gospel is that God did accept us as we are. Good, bad, broken.
He adopted us into His family, put the royal robe of welcome
around our shoulders and leads us to His banquet table. So let us
rejoice in Him and live like the child of God. Jesus
said, Come
unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
Matthew 11: 28 Know
that the Lord, he is God! It is he, who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
For
you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has
chosen you out of all the people on the face of the earth to be
his treasured possession.
Deuteronomy 7:6 Can
a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on
the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget
you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands.
Isaiah 49: 15-16 For
the lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away
his face from you, if ye return unto him.
2 Chronicles 30: 9

unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
