-31 Proverbs 14:1 "The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down." Proverbs 14:1 Three Biblical Instructions for Mothers Be learners and doers of the Word Titus 2:3-5, Isaiah 50:4 Instruct our children in the ways of the Lord - Ephesians 6:4, Deuteronomy 6:4-11 Discipline our children to teach about the gospel, authority, and for your children to grow wise - Hebrews 12:5-7, Proverbs 29:15 Who can mother? The vision of motherhood is greater than our own children. The essence of motherhood is about revealing God to the world - as all things are. The world is waiting to know the caring heart of God. "Every woman can blossom as a mother, wither she gives birth to her own children or not. All she needs to do is allow the nursing instinct that God has put within her by divine creation to flow from her life.” - Nancy Campbell The Power of Motherhood Examples of mothering others: 1 Timothy 5:10 Proverbs 31 Romans 16:13 For God and Through His Grace There is no perfect mother. We mother for the glory of God and through His grace. There is forgiveness when we fall short and grace when it's difficult, and joy when we rely on God. Mothering is a sanctifying work completed with diligence through the power of Christ. Recommended Resources There are so many resources I talked about on the show today!
