1. A Mother’s Role
• A woman’s call as mother from the beginning (Genesis 3:20)
• Men and women are made different, for different roles and functions.

2. She’s a Comforter.
• God knows the comfort we feel in our mothers and uses like language to speak to us. (Isaiah 66:13)
• Women carry a true beauty in the gentle and quiet spirit they can have, and this is precious to God. (1 Peter 3:2-4)

3. She’s a Teacher.
• A mighty woman of God has faithful instruction for her house as she watches over it. (Proverb 31:26-28)
• She speaks instruction that is heard with reverence and sobriety, as it should be. (Proverbs 1:8-9)

4. She is Present.
• A mother is to be a constant, unwavering presence in their child’s lives.
• She encourages and cheers during good times, and consoles and comforts during difficulties.
• The strong motherhood played out for the world to see (John 19:24-25)
