Motherhood today has often come under attack in the woke world – A world that changes motherhood into a birthing process and mothers into the birthing parent. Most messages that will be given today will of course be on the Virgin Mother Mary. After all, the Bible does declare that she is “the most blessed of all women”. Other messages taught on this day often focus on Adam’s wife, Eve. Not only does the Bible tell us that Eve was the first woman, she was also the first mother and given the title of “Mother of all the Living”. There are many great women/mothers in the Bible but the one we will focus on today will be the one described in Proverbs 31 – “The Virtuous Woman”. This chapter describes a wife/mother who meets all the requirements of all God and man. She is the ideal, perfect mother. As we look into the heart of God and see His idea of a perfect mother, I find it interesting that most husbands would claim that the perfect woman was the one they married many years ago. Does the perfect mother exist? All women should be content with what they have been given from God. However, all should strive to be that Proverbs 31 women.
