Devotional For May 12, 2024

Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭28‬

Who are the mothers or mother figures that have impacted your life? Motherhood is far more than biological maternity. It’s a reflection of a nurturing, sacrificial love that can be found in many relationships and roles.

Proverbs 31 paints a beautiful picture of a woman who embodies the qualities of a nurturing caregiver. She speaks with wisdom, provides guidance and instruction, and diligently cares for her household. Her children and husband rise up to honor and bless her, recognizing the invaluable role she plays in their lives.

This biblical description of a godly mother serves as a model for women who aspire to live out their faith in practical ways within their families and communities. It emphasizes the importance of character, integrity, and faithfulness in fulfilling the role of a mother and nurturer.

On this Mother’s Day, take time to express your gratitude and love for all those who have nurtured and cared for you. Whether it’s through a simple thank-you note, a thoughtful gesture, or spending quality time together, let us take the opportunity to honor the mothers and mother figures in our lives.

Pray

Lord, thank You for the gift of motherhood and the mothers who have blessed me. Help me to honor and appreciate the mothers and mother figures in my life, recognizing their invaluable contributions. Help me to grow in Your likeness and extend grace to those who may need a blessing as well. In Jesus’ name, amen.
