  GOD COULDN’T BE EVERYWHERE? SO HE MADE MOTHERS!
Preached by Dr. Gene Scott on May 9, 1982
     
     As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you…
     Isaiah 66:13
     
     TODAY’S MESSAGE IS DEDICATED TO MY MOTHER, Inez Leona Scott. Its title borrows from an old Jewish proverb, which says, “God couldn’t be everywhere, so He made mothers.” Because I believe that God can in fact by everywhere, I put a question mark after the first half of the proverb and entitled this message God Couldn’t Be Everywhere? So He Made Mothers! The proverb states a truth by means of an exaggeration. In the New Testament, the apostle Paul said, “Now we see through a glass, darkly; but then,” over there in eternity, we will see God “face to face.” The apostle John said that no man has seen God, but Christ “hath declared him.” That means, in essence, that Christ led God forth from behind a curtain and put Him on display here on earth; but no man knows God fully. The Bible is a revelation of God, but we see only in part. My prayer is that through today’s message, we will learn a little more about what God is like.
     
     We read in Genesis 17:1, “The LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God. . .” The Scofield Reference Bible discusses the origin and meaning of this name of God. While I cannot fully endorse the Scofield Bible because of some of Scofield’s views, you won’t find many Bible Scholars who criticize its accuracy. He wrote the following:
     
     The etymological signification of Almighty God (El
     Shaddai) is both interesting and touching. God (El)
     signifies the “Strong One. . .” The qualifying word
     Shaddai is formed from the Hebrew word “shad,” the
     breast . . . Shaddai therefore means primarily “the
     breasted.” God is “Shaddai” because He is the
     Nourisher, the Strength-giver, and so, in a secondary
     sense, the Satisfier, who pours Himself into believing
     lives. As a fretful, unsatisfied babe is not only
     strengthened and nourished from the mother’s breast,
     but also is quieted, rested, satisfied, so El Shaddai is
     that name of God which sets Him forth as the
     Strength-giver and Satisfier of His people.
     
     Thus the name El Shaddai, the breasted one, gives us an etymological picture of God’s being like a mother who satisfies, as a mother satisfies a babe at her breast.
     
     The second Bible passage that undergirds today’s message is Isaiah 66:13: “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.” I could just as easily have preached out of Isaiah 31:5, which says, in essence, “As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend and deliver His people.” The imagery is of a mother bird flying to protect her little ones. Most of us have seen what a mother bird will do to protect her young. I pray that God will quicken our hearts to see this aspect of what He intends to be for you and for me today.
     
     Jesus many times used an earthly example to illustrate a heavenly principle. He spoke of a man who went to his friend’s house at midnight to ask for bread. The man just kept on knocking, and his importunity caused his neighbor to give him bread. Likewise, Jesus told of a woman who went to an unjust judge and demanded that he grant her justice against her adversary. Again, it was her persistence and importunity that resulted in the unjust judge’s granting her justice. Jesus then said, in essence, “How much more will God – who is not unjust – respond to your requests, if you would continue to knock and to seek?” Jesus also used the analogy of a father giving gifts, saying that if his children ask for bread, they won’t be given a stone; and if they ask for fish, they won’t be given a serpent. And again, “How much more will our heavenly Father give to those who ask Him?” Jesus took examples from the best expressions of this earthly life and used them to illustrate the even better expressions of our heavenly Father.
     
     With that as my starting point, I went through God’s book and I found examples of earthly mothers who, in an unusual way, expressed love for their children. I want us to learn from these earthly mothers how much more will God be as a mother to His children, to whom He has promised, “As a mother comforteth, so will I comfort you,” and “As a mother bird flies to protect, so will I protect you,” and “I am El Shaddai, providing all that you need.”
     
     We are going to look at three biblical mothers today. Again, if an earthly mother would do the things that we will see today in the Scriptures, then how much more will God show the same care and concern for us? I pray that our faith will rise and that we will claim this as our promise. God said, “I am God and I change not.” He will be like that to you and to me in the midst of our battles. That is why we put the emphasis on faith, which is necessary for our salvation. God is love, and never will you see a greater display of love than in these Bible passages that teach us about the mother side of God.
     
     I would first like to share with you some verses out of literature that describe what mothers and motherhood can mean.
     
     On the judgment day, the Recording Angel will forgive much to him
     Who can say, “I never knew my mother.”
     - Charles Lamb
     
     
     All that I am my Mother made made.
     - John Quincy Adams
     
     The bravest battle that was ever fought;
     Shall I tell you what and when?
     On the maps of the world you will find it not;
     It was fought by the mothers of men.
     - Joaquin Miller
     
     A mother is a mother still, the holiest thing alive.
     - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
     
     Men are what their mothers made them.
     - Ralph Waldo Emerson
     
     To the soldier who falls on the battlefield,
     we give bronze and tablet.
     But to the mother it is a battle without glory. . .
     She wears no medals of a nation!
     Her badge is the furrowed lines upon her face.
     - Unknown
     
     Years to a mother bring distress;
     But do not make her love the less.
     -William Wordsworth
     
     Blessing she is: God made her so,
     And deeds of weekday holiness
     Fall from her noiseless as the snow.
     - James Russell Lowell
     
     On Mother’s Day, some people wear a flower signifying that their mother has gone home to be with the Lord. One who faced that experience and remembered her mother wrote these lines:
     
     She always leaned to watch for us.
     Anxious if we were late,
     In winter by the window,
     In summer by the gate. . .
     Her thoughts were all so full of us,
     She never could forget!
     And I think that where she is
     She must be watching yet,
     Waiting till we come home to her,
     Anxious if we are late –
     Watching from Heaven’s window,
     Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
     - Margaret Widdemer
     
     I quoted the Jewish proverb, “God couldn’t be everywhere, so He made mothers.” But God can be everywhere, and He can be as a mother to us. I would like us to look at three earthly mothers with that backdrop, beginning with Moses’ mother, Jochebed. Her name is recorded in Exodus 6:20; it means “Jehovah is glory.” She is the first person in the Bible whose name is linked to that wondrous name of God, Jehovah, the revealing One, whose nature is to display Himself. We read starting in Exodus 2:1, “And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.” That means both Moses’ father and mother were of the priestly tribe. “And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.”
     
     Now I will fail today if you don’t grab hold of yourself and quit worrying about your problems, quit worrying about your finances, quit worrying about your job and quit worrying about tomorrow. Quit worrying about whatever your mind is focused on. Even if you don’t feel well, turn your eyes with me onto God’s word, and put flesh and blood on these people in the Bible. Jochebed hid her child for three months. I doubt that anyone other than a mother can feel what a mother feels when out of the travail she looks on her newborn child, but try to put yourself in her place.
     
     God’s people were in bondage in Egypt. God had promised Abraham that his descendants would go into that land, and that they would come out again in the fourth generation. The fourth generation had come, and every newborn child was a potential deliverer. So Pharaoh, fearing that a deliverer would come, commanded his people to throw every newborn Hebrew boy into the Nile River. The Bible says that Jochebed saw that Moses was a goodly child and she hid him for three months. To Jochebed, it must have looked like every possible scenario would only end in his annihilation.
     
     As always, I preach to myself and let you listen in, but I ask you if you are facing circumstances of any kind today that place you in as helpless and as hopeless a position as Moses was in. He was unable to take care of himself, and he was facing certain annihilation. Whatever circumstances is crowding in on you, it is not likely to match that.
     
     Can you imagine what Moses’ mother must have gone through while trying to hide her helpless child for three months? Babies cry! “And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” Moses’ sister volunteered to find a Hebrew woman to take care of him, and she went and got her mother. Then Pharaoh’s daughter said to Jochebed, “Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.” So Jochebed nursed Moses until she brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he grew up to be a prince in Egypt and the deliverer of God’s people.
     
     The one outstanding thing I want you to see about Jochebed is her persevering, attentive, improvising, never-give-up care for the helpless. Jochebed would not accept what appeared to be inevitable. She would not give in to the idea that saving her son was impossible. With a never-ceasing care, she did not stop searching for a means to preserve her helpless child.
     
     This is God’s word. As a mother bird will fly to protect her young, God says, “So will I shield and protect and deliver you.” I have felt helpless many times in my life. As Jesus said, if an earthly father knows how to give good gifts, how much more will your heavenly Father give you good gifts? So I ask you, if this earthly mother could defy the impossible and never give up until she found a way to preserve her child, how much more will God, our “heavenly Mother,” find a way through the impossible to preserve you and me?
     
     Many people have a limited view of God. They put God into a box, as J.B. Phillips says, and He becomes a resident policeman standing there with a club to hit you on the head when you make a misstep. Other people have a nonsensical, otherworldly view of God; their god is a philosophic creation of men’s minds instead of what God has clearly revealed to us in His word.
     
     God turned a potential monster loose when He created man with the freedom to choose. And He turned man loose with another worse monster running around, the devil and his crew. But God wanted something so precious to Him that He was willing to risk the consequences of that decision. God created the capacity in man to give Him what He wanted, while knowing the inherent dangers of man’s misusing that capacity. God wanted us. He wanted a people like Himself who would voluntarily choose to do what He wanted, even though they had the power to do otherwise. Simply stated and stripped of any theological nonsense, that is the meaning of the words, “Let us make man in our image.”
     
     God could have created man and simply left him like any other creature, but the Bible says that God breathed into man and man became a living soul. God deposited Himself in that creation; He didn’t breathe that nature into any other animal. He breathed into man and man suddenly had a capacity. Reinhold Niebuhr came to grips with that concept more than any other modern theologian. Man suddenly became a living contradiction: he was a creature bound by his body to time, place and circumstances; while at the same time, he was a dweller in eternity where time does not rule. Man has the capacity to transcend himself. He can look back in time using his memory, and he can look forward into the future using his vision and imagination. Man has an eternal nature that never dies, which is chained temporarily to a dying body. And as Niebuhr said, there is no act of man that man does from sheer habit alone, from eating and sleeping to procreation. Every dimension of human behavior has some degree of freedom involved in it. We are forced to make choices. We do not have a fixed time and place to mate. We do not have an instinct to flap wings and fly to a certain place at a certain time of the year. We have something akin to the eternal side of God, the free side of God.
     
     This modern world became warped out of shape when it deified love instead of deifying God. God is love, but it is God who loves; and He is God because He has the power to maintain His position. If the devil had more power than God, he would be at the top of the heap and he would determine what god-ness is. Thank God, God is a God of love, but His attributes do not make Him God – He is that He is. And He has the freedom to be other than He is.
     
     Those who hold an extreme Calvinistic theology essentially put God into a box. They say that God can only be God if He acts in a certain way. God can be whatever He wants to be! He wants to be what He is, and He has the power to be otherwise and the freedom to choose otherwise. Some Calvinists might say, “God can only be God if He is good, and if He is just,” and so forth. I say, “Not so!” God could be like the devil if He wanted to be. Thank God that he doesn’t want to be! And thank God that He is the Boss. And thank God that He doesn’t like the devil. He doesn’t want to be like him, and He doesn’t want us to be like him either. God wanted us to have the capacity and the freedom to not love Him and yet still choose to love Him. He wanted us to have the freedom to go our own way, which Isaiah says is the essence of sin – and we have all done it. He wanted us to have that freedom and yet still choose to go His way.
     
     Repentance is not a sobbing, squalling fit. Some people ought to have a fit over their sins, but that is not what repentance is. Our English word repentance comes from the Latin word from which we get penance. But the Greek word translated repentance is metanoia and it focuses on the will and the mind. It simply means to turn from, to. That is, it means to turn from our way to God’s way.
     
     Again, God wants us to voluntarily turn to His way, though we have the capacity to go our own way. God chose to make us free and he was willing to allow the consequences that went along with that choice. He gives us the chance, within the margins of His absolute limiting power, to make decisions. I liken it to a sled running down a very wide track; we can bounce around and ricochet off of the boundaries set by God. Such a condition forces God to always be reconstructing after we make our messes.
     
     I do not believe in some kind of predestinarian doctrine that is a caricature of what the Bible teaches. To use a ludicrous illustration, imagine someone saying, “Thirty years ago, I took a wrong turn, and I have been out of God’s will ever since!” Strict predestinarians try to explain away man’s freedom by concocting the doctrine of “the permissive will of God” versus “the perfect will of God.” There isn’t any such thing. God simply has a will for you. By analogy, when we send a rocket to the moon and it gets off tract, we don’t make it go around in a big circle and come back to where it first started to get off track. We simply correct its trajectory; and the closer it gets to its target, the less correction is needed.
     
     That is the way God deals with us. He gave us the margin to make choices, and there is no action of human behavior that doesn’t involve the freedom of human choice or doesn’t get contaminated by human choice. That is why I said that God always has to reconstruct. He took His people out of Egypt. They messed up His plan for them, but He entered in to the situation and made it teach His truth. In the New Testament, we read in Romans 8:28, “All things work together for good. . .” That verse is not properly translated. All things do not work together for good. There are many things that I have messed up for God, and there was no way they could ever work together for good. Romans 8:28 literally says in the original Greek that “God enters in to all things to work His good.” As we preached from Psalm 37, when you roll your burden onto God, He goes to work on it with knowledge to direct your paths. Sometimes it takes a while to undo our messes. God, the Controller of history, has put Himself in the position of reconstructing what He has allowed us to do with our freedom. And He often has to collect all the loose ends of our messes and guide us down His path.
     
     Some people have a mystical, nonsensical view of God and His relationship to us. We get into a mess, and they say, “Well, God knows.” That does not bring me any personal comfort or direction when I am in a mess. That was Thomas Carlyle’s view. He said, “God may be in heaven, but He sure isn’t doing anything.” Yes, He is. God has to deal every moment with the wicked ways of man, the cunning devices of Satan, our stupidities and our willful disobediences. I am sure that we are not disobedient in the sense that we sit down and say, “God, I have decided that today is the day I am going to disobey You just because I want to see what I can get away with.” That would be an example of sheer stupid, willful self-seeking. Some people are so foolish that they saw off the limb of the tree they are sitting on and expect God to come along and catch them in a basket. But God knows the mess you are in.
     
     Unless you put Jochebed’s situation into this context, it will not mean anything to you. Men do create evil circumstances and God must balance many factors. I heard a ludicrous story about two boxers: one was a Baptist and the other a Presbyterian. And each of them prayed to God that they could knock the stuffing out of their opponent, with God’s help! Do you have any idea how many prayers God has to sort out today? God has to deal with all of the elements. Understand that your problem cannot be worse than the situation that Moses was in. Unlike God, this earthly mother was limited in her capacity and in the resources at her disposal; yet she would not give up. She simply would not stop until she found a way through the maze, a way out of the impossible, a way to preserve that child of hers. God has to deal with all the problems pressing in on us. Only a mother knows deep in her heart how much she will do for her son or her daughter. I want you to know it for yourself, and understand that wherever you are today, God is going to find a way out for you, even when it looks like there is no hope.
     
     There is something else that is beautiful about this passage. Notice that the very instrument of destruction that Satan inspired Pharaoh to use to destroy Moses, the Nile River, was the same instrument God used to deliver Moses. God will find a way! Some of you know that about God. We sing the song, “Where Could I Go, But to the Lord?” Remember that God didn’t get any help from Moses, except a squall. The only contribution Moses made was noise. I would prefer dealing with people who are tough instead of dealing with crybabies. But having cried a few times myself, I am glad to know that Moses’ mother still found a way to deliver him, and Moses didn’t have to do anything but cry.
     
     The second mother we will look at today is Mary, the mother of Jesus. Mary is one of the most admired women in the world. I went to Izmir on the peninsula of Turkey, the ancient site of Ephesus, and walked to the place that is, to my knowledge, the only place in the world where Muslims and Christians pray together. It is supposed to be the home where John took care of Mary, the mother of Jesus. I read the work of a statistician who did his research in 1957. At that time, there were 3,720,00 people in America with the name Mary or one of its derivatives. Mary is revered around the world, but usually for the wrong reasons.
     
     We read in John 19:25, “Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother. . .” As Jochebed typifies a mother who will find a way to deliver the helpless and who will not stop until she finds it, Mary typifies a mother who will stand by the rejected. Jesus was hated by everyone. He had just been tried in Herod’s and then in Pilot’s court. It is hard to believe that a man would be treated that way, when every record, including those by His enemies, says that He did nothing but good. The people chose to release Barabbas, a murderer, over Jesus, who had done nothing wrong. That is hatred.
     
     Mary knew when Jesus was only 12 that He was a strange child. His family was returning from Jerusalem when they discovered that Jesus wasn’t with them. They thought He had become lost, so Mary went back to Jerusalem to hunt for Him. And when she found Him in the temple, she rebuked Him, saying, “We have been looking all over for you!” Imagine that little 12-year-old boy as He looked at her and said, “Don’t you know that I must be about my Father’s business?” How would you like to be treated this way by your child? He expressed a claim on His life that she could not understand.
     
     I once sat on Mount Tabor on a night of a full moon in August. I looked down toward Nazareth below and could see in silhouette the sharp ridge that runs southwest out of Nazareth and descends toward the plain of Megiddo. According to tradition, that ridge was the place recorded in the Gospels where the townspeople of Nazareth tried to cast Jesus off a cliff. Jesus had grown up in Nazareth and worked as a carpenter. When He began to make messianic declarations about Himself, the townspeople began to resent Him, which is why Jesus said, “A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country.” The whole town sought to kill Him, and His own family thought that He was insane. Mary, out of concern for her son, sent the rest of the family to lay hands on Him and take Him away. But Jesus just looked around disdainfully and said, “Who is my mother?” It sounds cruel from the natural frame of reference, but Jesus rejected Mary’s earthly claims on Him and said, “These that do the will of my Father in heaven, they are my brother, and my sister, and my mother, my family.” She did not understand Him. I am sure there are many mothers who have never understood their children.
     
     Mary stayed by Jesus. She followed Him into Jerusalem and saw Him rejected. I want us to set aside the divine aspect of Jesus for just long enough to catch the human side and see Jesus’ care for His mother even in His dying hour. It is as much a heresy to deny the manhood of Jesus as it is to deny His divinity. When Jesus was on the cross, He looked upon her and His disciple, John; and He said to John, “Behold thy mother,” and to Mary, “behold thy son,” as He entrusted John with her care. John went on to pastor in Ephesus, where he cared for Mary until her death.
     
     Mary did not understand what was happening to her son; she simply saw Him being hated by everyone. Everyone rejected Him and turned against Him. And as He hung there on the cross, having been abandoned by His closest disciples, we read, “Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother.” Mary stood there when everyone else had turned against Him. That is a demonstration of love for the rejected. I do not need to belabor the point. You are either in that place or you are not. I can tell you I sure have stood in that place. The devil may have told you that no one cares about you. I am preaching this message for those who have known or are experiencing rejection from everyone who ought to have stood by you. Yet Jesus’ mother was there.
     
     I recently watched a trial on television, and I saw another Mary as I watched the mother of a lad who was accused of having committed a capital offense weep on the witness stand while she tried to say something that would save the life of her boy, whom everyone else thought was not worth saving. Do not ask me to form a pragmatic judicial opinion on the matter. I am preaching about a mother’s heart and simply saying that if a mother would do that, how much more will our heavenly Father? That is why I cannot tolerate Christian perfectionism that says, “Clean up first and then come in when you deserve God’s love,” That is utter nonsense! My God stands by the rejected! He hasn’t left you. You may just have forgotten that He is there.
     
     The third mother we will look at today is in 2nd Samuel 21. It is a passage in God’s book that many people would rather avoid because it is not very pretty. This mother’s name is Rizpah. She was the concubine of Saul, the first king of Israel. She was not his wife; she was just his girlfriend and she bore him two sons.
     
     Saul had presumptuously gotten ahead of God and he failed to remember a vow that had been sealed in God’s name by Joshua. When Joshua led the children of Israel into the Promised Land, their early victories against Jericho and Ai struck so much terror in the land that the men of Gibeon conceived a plan to save themselves. They packed up their goods in worn wrappings, and they put on worn-out clothes, torn, tattered and dirty, until they looked like they had traveled a great distance. Then they came to Joshua and said, “We heard of your greatness and the greatness of your God, and we have come a long distance to make a peace treaty with you.” Joshua and the leaders were so impressed that they made a treaty with them and sealed it with an oath in God’s name. God’s people vowed that they would never slay the Gibeonites.
     
     When Joshua found out that he had been deceived, he still honored that vow and did not slay the Gibeonites. Years later, Saul broke that vow and slew the Gibeonites, killing them with the sword. Later, the Philistines pursued Saul and three of his sons, wounding him and killing his sons on Mount Gilboa. Saul then committed suicide, falling on his own sword. So Saul and three of his sons died together that same day, and the Philistines took their bodies and nailed them to the wall at Beth-shan.
     
     Many years later, there was a famine in the land and King David inquired of the Lord about the cause of the famine. The Lord told him that it was because Saul had broken the vow and had slain the Gibeonites. David called for the Gibeonites and asked them what he would have to do to make atonement for Saul’s action. And in the brutal frame of reference in those days, they said that they wanted seven sons of Saul turned over to them to be slain. In those days, someone near of kin could take vengeance on someone who had murdered their relatives. That was the justice of the day. So to stay the famine, David met their request and turned seven of Saul’s sons over to them, including the two that were born of Rizpah; and they were subsequently hanged on the hill of Gibeah.
     
     The Bible says that this happened in the month of the barley harvest, which would be around April on our calendar. Rizpah went out to the hill where they had been hanged and she spread sackcloth on the rocks. We do not know if she used the sackcloth to make a little tent for herself, or if she simply spread it out on the rocks and slept out in the open. The Scripture says that she stayed there from the barley harvest until the coming of the rains. It was a Mediterranean climate and the first rains would normally fall around October. So for seven months, she stayed out there.
     
     Imagine this woman camped out alone on that hill. There were lions in Palestine in those days. See her fighting off the birds by day and the animals by night. It is a revolting image, but I want us to force ourselves to think about what this must have been like as those sons began to stink and then to blacken in the sun. Their flesh began to shrivel and rot away until they became an abhorrence to view, an object of loathing. Yet this mother stayed by her sons.
     
     King David heard about what Rizpah was doing. He was the man with the tender heart of a psalmist. And when he heard about it, he had them taken down from off the hill and given an honorable burial along with the bones of Saul and his other three sons. I believe that if David had not done that, Rizpah would have stayed out on that hill until she died.
     
     In Moses, we see the helplessness of a child; in Jesus, we see the rejected one; and in the seven sons of Saul, we see something loathsome and unlovable. While someone who is helpless and rejected can inspire sympathy, those seven sons of Saul could only be an object of abhorrence, but not to Rizpah. While we may put on a bold front, some of us do not really like ourselves very much. I believe that there is nothing wrong with having a healthy self-image, yet I know myself better than anyone else knows me, other than God. But God still likes me. And God will stay there even when I have become a loathsome object to everyone else. When you feel like you can’t even poke your head out of the house, He will stay there with you. When you think you are so unlovable that unless you change no one will love you, God’s promise is, “As a mother comforteth, so will I comfort you.”
     
     If you are helpless and without hope, God is not and He will find a way. If you are rejected, God has not left you and He will stand by you. If you feel like you are unlovable, God will stay right there with you and fight off those birds and animals that would pick at your flesh, whatever that may represent to you. If you feel like no one can stand you, He knows all about you, and “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” That is what takes us through this vale of tears until we reach that land of cloudless days.
