Have you had your Joy Juice today? Enjoy your juice this morning as we recall some of the Godly mothers of the Bible.
· In Genesis we learn about Hagar, who wandered in the wilderness, crying for her child; God responded to the cry of her heart by revealing a well of water nearby to quench their thirst.
· In Exodus, we read about Jochebed who defied Pharaoh in order to save the life of her son, Moses.
· In 1 Kings you may remember the mother who appealed to Solomon and was willing to let another woman have her child rather than see the child killed.
· In 1 Samuel, Hannah was devoted to her son, yet willingly offered him to the Lord.
· And then, of course, there was Mary, Mother of Jesus!
Not all the women of the Bible were good…Just as there are good mothers and some “not so good” mothers in our world today. But we must remember that God has a plan for mothers. The high calling of motherhood is an all-consuming task….24 hours a day, 7 days a week….for years! But, oh, the rewards are worth it!
Proverbs 31:28 says: Her children rise up and call her blessed; Moms: this should be our heart’s desire….to live such a Godly life before our children that they will one day call us a “Proverbs 31” mother! Yes, that will be a JOYful day!!!
Thank God for the Godly women He has put in your life…the ones who have served you buckets full of JOY!
