For the month of May 2022, we will examine descriptions of God from the Bible that are not often emphasized in worship. Our goal is that by examining these traits of God we will increase our understanding of Him and thereby enhance our worship. The five descriptions we will look at are God as Worker, God as Mother, God as Husband, God as Gardener, and God as Watchman.
Today is celebrated worldwide as Mother’s Day, so it is fitting that we look at God as Mother. Isaiah 49:15 and Isaiah 66:13 will form the basis of today’s study. God gives honour to the role mothers play in society by describing himself as a mother. We will focus on three attributes embodied in God as Mother, highlighted in the passages. God will not forget His children, God will have compassion on His children, and God will comfort His children.
