Mother’s Day Manna!
Scripture: Proverbs 31:28–29
In Proverbs 31:28–29, we encounter a poignant tribute to the virtuous woman: “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.'” These verses resonate with a depth of gratitude and admiration, painting a portrait of a woman whose worth far exceeds the sum of her accomplishments.
As we reflect on these verses, we are reminded of the profound impact of a mother’s love and sacrifice. Her children rise up and bless her, recognizing the countless ways she has poured herself out for their well-being and happiness. Her husband joins in praise, acknowledging her unparalleled excellence and the irreplaceable role she plays in their lives.
One cross-reference that echoes the sentiment of Proverbs 31:28–29 is Proverbs 31:10 (NIV), which states, “A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” This verse emphasizes the incomparable value of a woman of noble character, highlighting her worth as priceless and far exceeding material possessions.
Consider the countless mothers throughout history and around the world who exemplify the virtues described in Proverbs 31. Their selfless love, unwavering dedication, and quiet strength inspire awe and admiration. From the tender care of a mother nursing her newborn to the sacrificial love of a single mother working multiple jobs to provide for her children, their acts of love and devotion leave an indelible mark on those they touch.
As we meditate on Proverbs 31:28–29, let us honor and celebrate the mothers in our lives. May we express our gratitude and admiration for their sacrificial love and unwavering devotion. And may we recognize the immeasurable worth of a mother’s heart, surpassing all earthly treasures.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of mothers—the embodiment of Your love and grace in our lives. Bless them abundantly and fill their hearts with joy and peace. Help us to honor and cherish them as You do, appreciating the immeasurable impact of their love and sacrifice. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
