Introduction:
Sometimes people
Ever since my wife quit her job to stay home with the children, people ask her, “What do you do all day?
You must have a lot of free time because you don’t work anymore?”
I don’t think they ask maliciously, but often ask in ignorance.
The people who ask usually don’t have kids.
Being a wife and a mother is a full time job.
Think about what a mother does in a single day:
Wake up when your child needs you.
Change them.
Feed them.
Entertain them.
Educate them.
Disciple them.
Discipline them.
Play with them.
Pray with them.
Read with them.
Plan for them.
Prepare meals for them.
Bath them.
Dress them.
Bear with them.
Correct them.
Love them.
You know when the Daddy has to watch the kids, I must confess sometimes it is Disney Junior and Low Nutrition food.
And I get tired after watching them for only an hour!
If we were to think about a job description for mothers, a mother is an Educator.
A Teacher.
A Comforter.
A Doctor.
A Physical Therapist.
An Administrator.
An Events Planner.
A Counselor.
A Role Model.
An Example.
A Discipler.
A Disciplinarian.
An Entertainer.
A Prayer Warrior.
A Cook.
A Personal Assistant.
A Driver.
A Cheerleader.
A Protector.
And that all happens within one day!
A newsweek
A Newsweek article titled “Mother’s Matter” said if stay at home moms got compensated for all the hours they work, they would be paid $131, 471 a year.
Motherhood is a tough yet rewarding task.
It is part of the way God has designed women.
Behind every great man lies a great woman.
It also also true that before every great man comes a great mother.
When we look at church history, many people we consider the heroes of the faith were raised by godly and supportive mothers.
Behind every great man lies a great woman.
It also also true that before every great man comes a great mother.
When we look at church history, many people we consider the heroes of the faith were raised by godly and supportive mothers.
In the Bible, the prophet Samuel was raised by his godly mother Hannah.
In the NT, John the Baptist was raised by Elizabeth.
Jesus was raised by Mary.
Timothy learned the Scriptures through his mother Eunice.
In church history, great theologians and hymn writers and evangelists were also raised by godly mothers.
Augustine, the great North African theologian, may have been converted through the persistent prayers of his mother Monica when he was living an immoral lifestyle and flirting with heresy.
The mother of Charles Spurgeon, Eliza Spurgeon, had Surgeon when she was only 19 years old and gave birth to 17 children though 9 died in infancy.
Her husband was a bi-vocational pastor who was gone most of the time leaving the care of the children to Eliza.
Spurgeon grew up a rebellious child.
However, Eliza would often read Scripture, pray, and plead for her son to be saved.
This left an impression on him at an early age.
After Spurgeon’s conversion, he would preach to thousands and millions in his lifetime earning him the title the prince of preachers.
In one of his sermons he said,
“There was a boy once—a very sinful child—who hearkened not to the counsel of his parents.
But his mother prayed for him, and now he stands to preach to this congregation every Sabbath.
And when his mother thinks of her firstborn preaching the Gospel, she reaps a glorious harvest that makes her a glad woman.”
John Piper, speaks of his mother Ruth, in this way:
“What I owe my mother for my soul and my love to Christ and my role as a husband and father and pastor is incalculable.”
John Piper’s dad was a traveling evangelist, which meant he was gone 2/3 of the year.
This meant his mom had to take on more responsibilities in paying bills, managing rental properties, caring for the home, teaching and discipling the children.
It was John Piper’s Mother who would lead him in prayer to receive Christ at the age of 6.
He wrote a poem for a tribute
Mama knew the Good Book — especially the Proverbs;
years later when I was three thousand miles away
she kept on quotin’ Proverbs in her salutations.
The message was always the same — the pulse beat of her heart —
Be wise son, be truly wise:
Fear God and keep your heart warm.
What all these men had in common was that they had a praiseworthy mother.
And it is appropriate that on Mother’s Day, we would talk about what makes a woman praiseworthy.
It was better to preach on the last chapter of Proverbs rather than don’t let your heart envy and follow sinners in to the end of the chapter.
What makes a woman praiseworthy?
I.
A Praiseworthy woman is precious.
Main Proposition: In , we will see three things that makes a woman praiseworthy, so that we can take this day and opportunity to thank God and honor praiseworthy women.
She is precious (vv.
10-11)
She is a virtuous (vv.
13-27)
She is godly (vv.
28-31)
Scripture Reading:
What makes a woman excellent?
She is rare.
She has character.
She is godly.
