HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
Proverbs 31:28-29
Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but you excel them all.
Mother’s Day is a very special time as we remember our mothers and all that they have done for us. On this special day, I would like to list ten qualities of a godly mother that we find in the Scriptures in Proverbs 31. Each of these qualities describes the woman of God that reminds us of our mothers.
1. She is faithful and trustworthy. Proverbs 31:12
2. She is a diligent worker. Proverbs 31:13-14
3. She takes care of her family’s needs. Proverbs 31:15-16
4. She is capable and strong. Proverbs 31:17-19
5. She is generous and charitable. Proverbs 31:20
6. She is fearless and prepared. Proverbs 31:21-22
7. She is noticeably respected by others. Proverbs 31:23-24
8. She is modest. Proverbs 31:25
9. She is wise. Proverbs 31:26-27
10. She is a servant who provides for her family. Proverbs 31:28-31
Let’s take this opportunity to stop and praise God for our mothers. We also can let them know how much we care and appreciate all that they have done and continually do for us. For most of us, if it had not been for a godly mom or wife, we would not be where we are today!
