Hey guys, have you done what you need to follow through on in giving honor to God and in showing honor to your mothers as the "priceless, valuable and rare" figures that they are? I say, go for it while you can! Here's what the Lord says about godly mothers/women:
Godly mothers, please listen up. Upwards. Stay in the word. God has a specific will for you. God will honor the sacrifices you’ve made for Him and for your family. Are you a single mother? You too are cherished, you are loved, and you play an essential role in this world gone sideways.. as well as in the Kingdom of God!
It's amazing how often the kindhearted, incredible godly mother in my home (my wife, and is not my mother) has gotten caught in an outright... truth! Has gotten caught red-handed in a "conspiracy theory that was true. Sure, she had facts on it, yet that doesn't always register with her occasional accusers/attackers.
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. - Proverbs 31:25,28
I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. - 2 Timothy 1:5
He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. - Isaiah 40:11
As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem. - Isaiah 66:13
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. - Psalm 127:3-5
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. - 2 Proverbs 22:6
Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. - Exodus 20:12
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. - Psalm 139:13-14
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck. - Proverbs 1:8-9
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. - James 1:17
1. Moms, You’re Not Alone: You are a gift that we are grateful for. Thank you! God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit really loves you mom -- He is always there for you. Stay in touch abiding in the Vine. Get your go from Him. If you feel all alone and lonely, uou don't need to stay that way! Get with Him today. Proactively find a balanced, on-fire, prayerful, warm Bible-based community!2. Moms, You Are Not Unseen Even On Days You Feel Like It: Mister William Wallace in his famous poem called "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World". It's Mother's Day, so go remind all the older and younger salty godly mothers you know about Christ's powerful influence that comes through them in needy places, Yes, that are making this broken world a better place to live in.
Godly mothers, please listen up. Upwards. Stay in the word. God has a specific will for you. God will honor the sacrifices you’ve made for Him and for your family. Are you a single mother? You too are cherished, you are loved, and you play an essential role in this world gone sideways.. as well as in the Kingdom of God!
3. Mom, You Are Blessed In Christ: He'll meet all your needs as in ALL. No fears, no worries, no worldly comparisons, no fears, and no disorientations or woke confusion in the Lord.
Start and end your day in prayer together. Pray all through the day.. not for show.
Personally, I ask a lot of questions (as early as I can, it's better this way) and guess what.. white roses with other white lilies and Saint Ann's Lace are still on top, they never get old for Liney.
Keep in mind how many brand-new mothers' hearts are filled up with great hope and love! Liney was like that. Yes, God made them this way.
God loves mothers! Family still matters to Him like He describes it. He always has, and he always will be like that.
Mothers, words cannot describe how experientially wonderful and joyous it is to know the Father God through his Son, Jesus Christ! Keep on walking with Him and ignore the words of those who keep seeking to pull you down!
Life here can be kind of tough, very challenging, but God gives grace and listens to moms. Yes, to all of us when we call out to Him. He feels compassion for us too. God understands and answers prayer!
He has been the perfect parent and he had a dysfunctional family. Ouch! So many of his creations rebelled and split from Him (and still rebel. Some are even delusional still believing many lies).
The very first son of Eve (the very first human mother) was Cain, the very first murderer. Guilty of fratricide. Her secondborn son was the very first godly martyr named Abel. Can you immaging the pain from him? According to Genesis 4:1, after Cain was born, Eve voiced: “I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD” (esv) or "I have produced a man with the help of the LORD" (nrsv). It would appear from the text that Eve had hoped Cain would be that one promised "seed" who would bring viable solutions and the Ultimate Solution (salvation) here for people.
Factoid: Here's what they've studied and discovered: Every mother has hope. Do you still have love? Every human being has a mitochondrial DNA that goes back to one mother (who wasn't a man that had periods), yes back to one woman.
- Eve Had a child, and a lot of Hope and Love: She had that dysfunctional hateful pridefully-evil Cain. Read the Bible, she obviously had a whole bunch of unbelieving kids ...and then godly Seth popped up! Praise the Lord for Seth!
- Scholars say hopeful Eve really thought: Cain was the promised "seed" who would conquer that serpent (Genesis 3:15), but she was sadly mistaken. Have your hopes been dashed by his son heading south spiritually?
You and I know even good words are cheap to speak son. Those are the easy part done, so how do you consistently show love to your mother.. I mean, what she needs to see in an ongoing way and to hear from you? Why don't we ask her!
I've seen and read about some excellent examples -- Liney, the example of Eunice, of Hannah, and of Mary, who lovingly served and sang of her Savior.
Each one of us can say things in a Hallmark card (a good start), but real consistency, time visiting her, supporting her, and warmly showing your appreciation for her maternal sacrifice is more noble yet!
The spiritual impact of godly motherhood through the ages has been incalculable, and the importance of ongoing support, your encouragement, your edifying of her, and your honoring her. Man, praying for mothers now is needed more than ever.
We've been seeing the most vicious treatment of mothers (even in this Western 1st World and oftentimes by strange invading males) of any generation in all of history. The numbers are far greater. It's so wrong! They're not ever to be treated like crazy-mean dogs or any animal ever.
Some Mothers Really Need A Message From Family Who Genuinely Care.. Starting From Member's Lives Well-lived.
Yes, some need to finally hear and see some results from the huge investment they made and keep making!
The Power of Prayer: Please go study the story of Augustine's mother. Godly mothers never stop praying for their children, even when they stray far sway. Even when they really can't take the unfair harsh treatment of their kids another day.
It was the steadfastness of her faith, of her hot tears, and of her dogged perseverance that God responded to by convicting and bringing Augustine of Hippo to faith in Christ.
Think about the most powerful force in many homes is not wealth, intellect, or status, but is God when a mother gets on her knees before Him. Her life shows that persistent prayer, patient faith, biblical wisdom, and sacrificial love can become instruments through which God rescues prodigals and shapes history. Hidden obedience in the home may appear small to the world, yet in God's hands it can influence generations and advance His kingdom far beyond what any mother can presently see.
“She wept for me more than mothers weep for the bodily deaths of their children!” ~ Augustine
Is It Challenging Like Some "Wonder Woman" Role?: Godly mothers have a very difficult yet rewarding calling that requires prayer, unnoticed service, patience and 24/7/365 selflessness. They wipe butts, mop, mow, and clean toilets for God's sake!
Biblical Motherhood: God highlights for us that children are a "gift and heritage from the Lord" but that doesn't mean do nothing with your kids after they're given to you on loan. Teach them how to . grow and live independantly with the Jesus of the Bible rather than one of their own creation. God calls on mothers to lead by biblical example.
Appreciation over Gifts: While gifts are nice, but mothers need to know they are truly appreciated, loved, respected for their unseen labor of selfless love. After the Fall, Eve came to trust in God and His promise and she demonstrated genuine faith.
1. Eve Believed God’s Promise of Redemption
Immediately after Adam and Eve sinned, God gave the first promise of the gospel:
“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” — God, Gen. 3:15
This verse, often called the Protoevangelium (“first gospel”), foretells that a descendant of the woman would ultimately defeat Satan. Evangelical interpreters widely understand this as the first prophecy of Jesus Christ.
Eve heard this promise directly from God.
2. Eve Was Called “Mother of All Living”
After hearing God’s promise, Adam named his wife:
“Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.” — The Bible
The name “Eve” (Hebrew Chavvah) is related to “life” or “living.” In the context of impending death because of sin, this name reflects hope in God’s promise of life and redemption.
Matthew Henry observed that Adam’s naming of Eve expressed faith that life would continue through her despite the curse of death.
3. Eve’s Statement at Cain’s Birth Reflects Faith
When her first son was born, Eve said:
“I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD.” — Gen. 4:1
This is the first recorded statement of a woman in Scripture after the Fall, and it explicitly acknowledges the Lord’s help. Some commentators suggest Eve may have wondered whether this son might be the promised deliverer, though the text does not state that directly.
At minimum, her words show:
Recognition of God as the giver of life
Gratitude to the Lord
Dependence upon God
4. Eve Continued Trusting God After Abel’s Murder
After Cain murdered Abel, Eve later said regarding Seth:
“God has appointed for me another offspring instead of Abel.” — Gen. 4:25
Even after devastating grief, Eve acknowledged God’s sovereign provision. This indicates continued trust in the Lord.
5. New Testament Perspective
The Bible notes Eve’s deception and then states that women will continue “in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.” The emphasis is not that motherhood saves, but that faithful perseverance marks genuine spiritual life. Eve’s later statements in Genesis are consistent with such faith.
Conclusion: Was Eve a Woman of Faith? Yes.
Based on the biblical evidence, it is reasonable to conclude that Eve became a believing woman who trusted God after the Fall.
Eve was a real person, a mother with hope in her heart...
- She heard and evidently embraced God’s promise.
- She acknowledged God’s help.
- She recognized God’s provision.
- She became the mother through whom the human race—and ultimately the Messiah—would come.
- Scripture does not present Eve as a perfect mother. Her sons included both a murderer and a righteous worshiper. Yet the biblical record gives meaningful indications that she trusted in God’s mercy and lived in hope of His redemptive promise.
“Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.”
Eve’s story reminds us that even those who fall grievously may be restored by God’s grace and become instruments in His plan of redemption.
Wise King Solomon knew who the real mother was when she was willing to give up her own child to the other prostitute who had stole him cuz hers was dead. She rolled over on him in the night and the swished the two kids out in the morning. A mother will sacrifice in love. Our heavenly Father sacrificed His own Son so we could experience life.
Mother, what is your first born like, or other kids like? You still have hope? Hope is to be had in the first Adam - Christ!
Again, think about the first mother and her heart filled with love and hope after receiving her firstborn son. It was Cain who was a murderer. The second born of Eve was the first martyr in history - Able. Lots of kids! Then Eve experienced rest.had Seth and he was godly.
Some kids easily voice: "I'm sorry" over and over again on different months, but refuse to actually change any like they say.
Bottom line, those words of sorry sound really good but are 100% wothless. Learn and stop sinning. Others never ever say or show that, or "I love you. Thanks mom. Apart from your kind encouragement mom with the phone and text niceities, and talk of garden, rain or cats, what do you really want to see from my life, mom?"
Do you say that you love the Lord? The Bible truthfully teaches that you'll never ever be close to him, or in live in harmonious connection with Christ, unless you also love his flawed bride.
Take heed to what the Word teaches. The Lord is very faithful to 100% fairly repay all those who cause hurt to others.. especially to their own moms.
We all can disagree on gobs (other than the Essentials). Yes, we can study but disagree on a whole lot of very basic non-Cardinal truths and stay in fellowship with each other, Christian. But let's always agree on the very basic stuff that so, okay. That seems smart! We will honor our parents this way!
"How can two walk together, except they be agreed?"
That's a rhetorical question above. Amos 3:3 basically tells us that any good and true partnership, family harmony, and progress with any kind of relationship—whether with God or with others—requires a shared direction, humility, care, a good purpose with an alignment of good values. (Wise sources do matter. ie, Bible).
Amos implies that walking together is absolutely impossible without maintaining some unity about what's so ..at least regarding Bible basics. Read more on motherhood...
?
Sure, ALL parents are imperfect (you too), but God is good and godly mothers are so So SO valuable! They are to be loved instead of repeatedly grieved or wounded by relatives.
God's 100% got your godly mother's back as she prays for you. I know she'd love to see you on the other side of His Great White Throne Judgment bar.
Yes, He'd very much like that too cuz He's mad about you, not mad at you. Cuz of the Cross God ain't mad at sinners or saints.
Do you have trauma? Do you have Christian parents? They have feelings too. No matter who you are, you and your buds, or school counselors, none of us are your mother's Judge. Help her please as she walks with her Savior. You want closeness right, so why shoot yourself in the food so to speak? No son or daughter will ever enjoy any closeness with their Christian dad if they continue to despise or harshly treat (hurt) his bride!
Let go of all women-hate and that diminishing of your mothers, which is so prevalent in this Woke and Cancel and "Cut-off culture." It needs to be ditched; all the Christian and Jew hatred needs to be repented of. Let go of all those accusations against your mom have got to go!
The Bible teaches us that Satan and his thugs are the deceiving, hateful accusers of the brethren. I mean that pointing of the finger. Mr LuCifer hatefully does that not to assist, yep, just like the Pharisees of old and of today often did. He has only come to steal, kill and destroy. He and Pharisee types are the same yesterday, today and forever.
It and all the condemnation simply needs to go away from you ..forever. Forgive your parents; it's a choice. Forgive God, who never did you any wrong. Jesus cares and intercedes for us.
So, going forward, live free in the Son. Choose to love people you've neglected or hurt. Make a firm decision now to come down on the right side of history, instead of the wrong side.
Q: Are you going to line yourself up with: the accuser or with the Intercessor (who is Christ). Pray earnestly for your flawed parents, for godly women, and even for her kids.. for your kids.
"If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
"The power of a mother's prayers with all her children kneeling around is far greater than any public ministry.” ~ Charles H. Spurgeon
Marriage and motherhood today with the ladies are just as valid as they ever were! God thought it all up, this union where selfless-caring-friendship can indeed be learned and cultivated instead of with that ugly selfishness of this corrupt and twisted world system. See Phil. 2:3-4 and S. of S.
Real facts > Real feelings
The former are your friends - facts are! Yes, real facts (like all those found in the Bible), over feelings you have, should really matter!
It's amazing how often the kindhearted, incredible godly mother in my home (my wife, and is not my mother) has gotten caught in an outright... truth! Has gotten caught red-handed in a "conspiracy theory that was true. Sure, she had facts on it, yet that doesn't always register with her occasional accusers/attackers.
God is the powerful One. He empowers For witnessing and prayer is the way we tap in but he remains Lord not us.
What we've seen at two borders is suicidal empathy -- it was killing our nation, the USA and others. Real love doesn't always give freebies away to countless people that want to destroy our nation and us. Compassion starts on two knees. Yes, compassion starting in the home is far better than empathy because compassion speaks and acts appropriately to address the need right.
