In as much as it is my birthday soon, I would like to think about birthdays. Birthdays are significant. What are your thoughts when you realize you are aging and turning a new page? What are your dreams and goals?
It’s your birthday whenever it is. What do you do on your birthday? Do you evaluate? Think about your past? Think about where you are? Think about your spiritual life? Are you on the right path to follow Jesus? Are you happy with your progress? Is your family on board?
The day of our birth, someone has said, is a time God has decided to send you into the world and the world could not wait for you any longer so make your difference.
A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth. Ecc 7:1
Birthdays in the Bible
Jesus: “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.” Matt 1:18
Job: “ Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. ” Job 3:16 Job’s sons celebrated their birthdays, Job 1:4-5
Pharoah: “And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday…” Gen 40:20
Herod, “…Herod on his birthday made a supper…” Mark 6:21
Happy birthday to to you whenever it is! –Ivy Conner
