Help me Father to be a doer and not just a hearer of Your Word made flesh…. To love God above ALL and others as ourselves.
It is nothing to do with us and everything to do with Jesus.
Though Jesus always honored Mary, He commented carefully on the woman’s blessing to keep the focus on the word of God. Jesus offers His blessing to those who respond concretely to God’s will as expressed in the Bible.
Luke 11:27-28
27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
6For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
2Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart!
Psalm 119:2
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Matthew 7:21
25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
James 1:25
