Ma Said!

“Ma Said!” Growing up, I was very close with my grandparents. My grandmother loved the Lord and she loved me. To me anything she said was absolute truth. There were times when I was as a young boy and I would overhear her say something and I would repeat it. If someone disagreed with me I had a simple two word response, “Ma said!”

I did not have that confidence because she was smartest grandma in the world, nor because she was more educated than anyone else on our street. It was because I knew she cared for me, and that she would not tell me anything untrue. It didn’t matter what I felt like, or what the other person thought, or what was going on around me, if Ma said it I knew it was so. “Ma said!”

As Christians we need a similar response. Whatever we may feel like, or whatever someone else thinks, or whatever is going on around us, we need to trust in God and hold to the truth of His Word. “God said!”
