How to be a Godly Mother
(go to Chinese 华文 text)Mothers are nurturers and caregivers who provide love, care, and support to their children. They are responsible for the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of their children.
- Isaiah 49:15:
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!" - Proverbs 31:27-28
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: - Hosea 11:3-4:
"It was I [God] who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them. I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. To them, I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them."
teaching their children in matters of faith, character, and wisdom.
- Proverbs 1:8 "Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching."
- Proverbs 22:6: "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it."
- Proverbs 31:30: "Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."
- Exemplifying virtues and godly qualities. Children learn more by following examples.
- Proverbs 31:26 "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue."
- Proverbs 31:25 "She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."
- 1 Samuel 1:27-28:
- "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD." And he worshiped the LORD there.
- Isaiah 54:13 “All thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of Thy children.”
- 3 John 4 “I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.”
to discipline their children in love and with wisdom, guiding their children to know right and wrong and toward righteousness.
- Proverbs 29:15
- "The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother."
- Don't overdo it. See Eph 6:4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
- Ephesians 6:1-3:
- "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother'—which is the first commandment with a promise—'so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.'
Isaiah 66:13"As a mother comforts her child, so will I [God] comfort you."
! Manage the Household & Finances
- Titus 2:3-5:
- "Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
- Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,
- to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God."
- Proverbs 31:10-12:
- "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
- Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
- She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
- 2 Timothy 1:5:
- "I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also."
! Passing through at least 3 generations.
Dear Heavenly Father, we prayed for all mothers and soon-to-be mothers. May You give them the love, wisdom, and courage to be godly mothers taking good care and character development of their children. May they love their husbands and create a secure and loving environment for their children. May she make fine decisions in the running of the house and the finances. May her family be a light and testimony for You, bringing praises
