Blessed

The Word of God tells us that a mother’s children rise up and call her blessed in Proverbs 31:24.  When we look in God’s Word, we see Godly mothers’ who desired to have a child and cried out and prayed to the Lord.  Hannah cried out to God for a son and she told the Lord that if He would give her a man child that she would give him back to Him.  When Samuel was weaned, Hannah kept that promise and took him to the temple to learn the ways of the Lord.  When Samuel died he was a prophet of God.  What an awesome responsibility God has laid upon us as mothers to teach our children the ways of the Lord.  We do not have to wait to read God’s word to them until they are born we can begin reading to them while in the womb.  We begin praying for them before they are conceived and ask God to protect them and to anoint them with the Holy Spirit that they will grow up to become men and women of God.  As women of God, let us always remember to teach our children to pray and to set an example of what a Godly woman is.  In Titus 2:4 the word states that, “We are to train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, and to be kind…”  Our children grow up to be shadows of who we are, let us learn to walk in the image of Christ so they will seek to follow Him.  For our children to grow up to be mighty men and women of God they must first see it practiced at home and in our lives.  The best gift a mother can receive from her child is to know that they are serving the Lord and that they have a heart after God.
