Sunday March 26
Mothering Sunday
Bible Reading: Proverbs 31: 10 - 31
Topic: The Mother's Beauty
Today's passage details
the character of a woman of genuine worth who is very industrious and provides
so well for her family, that both her husband and children are proud of her.
Because of her industry
and reputation, her husband is also highly respected in the Community.
The place of Mothers in
the world is very significant, especially with regard to the influence they can
have over the lives of their children and by extension, their Communities.
Godly Mothers in the
Scripture include Hannah, who gave her only Child to the Lord and was blessed
with five more children, having been barren for so long.
We are also challenged by
the godly influence of Timothy's Grandmother Lois and his Mother Eunice over
his young life (2 Tim. 1: 5).
Though his Father was
Greek and probably a pagan, that godly influence brought him to Christ and he
eventually became Paul's son in the faith and the Pastor of one of the largest
Churches of the early Church, the Church in Ephesus.
As we celebrate our
Mothers today, we pray that God will help them to aspire to the inner beauty of
the woman in today's reading, so that they too can be godly influences over
their families and wives of good reputation of whom their husbands will be
proud.
Happy Mothers' Day to all
our beautiful Mothers!!!!
Prayer:
Lord bless all our Mothers
everywhere and help them to be godly influences over their families and society
at large, to Your honour and glory in Jesus Name, we pray, Amen.
Memory verse: Proverbs 31: 10
"Who can find a
virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies"
