MOTHER

Proverbs 31:15, 27-31
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.

A Mother of Noble Character

15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household
and plan the day’s work for her servant girls.
27 She carefully watches everything in her household
and suffers nothing from laziness.
28 Her children stand and bless her.

Her husband praises her:
29 “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world,
but you surpass them all!”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;

but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
31 Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.


As a tribute to all mothers, these verses from the 31st chapter of Proverbs are a subset of the subject ‘A Wife of Noble Character’ (Proverbs 31:10-31).

The key verse is verse 30 … “… a woman who fears the LORD…”. Enough said!

If I don’t get another opportunity, Happy Mother’s Day!
