Is Motherhood Important
for Today?
The
Words of King Lemuel’s Mother
31 The words of King Lemuel, the
utterance which his mother taught him:
2 What, my son?
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
And what, son of my womb?
And what, son of my vows?
3 Do not give your strength to women,
Nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 It is not for
kings, O Lemuel,
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;
5 Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more.
It is not for kings to drink wine,
Nor for princes intoxicating drink;
5 Lest they drink and forget the law,
And pervert the justice of all the afflicted.
6 Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.
7 Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his misery no more.
8 Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.[a]
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.[a]
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor and needy.
The
Virtuous Wife
10 Who[b] can find
a virtuous[c] wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.

From her profits she plants a vineyard.

And strengthens her arms.

The big question today is,”Why
is motherhood Important for Today?”
I believe motherhood
is important today! Why? Because in these passages it tells us that:
1. The Godly mother is
one who teaches and trains her children about life and how to live Godly lives,
to avoid sin, sinful companion, and strong drink and to obey the Word of God.
Proverbs 31:1-9
2. The Godly mother
has a good heart and can be trusted-love and faith. Proverbs 31:10-12
3. The Godly mother is
one who works very hard, and taking care of the home! Proverbs 31:13-22
4. The Godly mother is
faithful and dresses in a Godly manner. Proverbs 31:23-26
5. The Godly mother
fears (respect) the Lord Thy God and seeks to obey His Word! She is a prayer
warrior and a Bible teacher! Proverbs 31:27-31
Dear friends, how do we need to today for Godly
mothers? Godly mothers who are role models to a world that is out of control!
How do
we need mothers who are faithful, trustworthy, loving, caring, hard workers,
protector of her husbands, and her family and women who love, teaches God’s
Word, and fear God!!
I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day and God
bless!
To all whom need God’s grace and peace say
this simple prayer with me?
“Dear
Lord Jesus forgives me of my sins and come into my heart today, In Jesus Name
amen!”
Love,
Eddie
