MOTHERS NEED ENCOURAGING, Part 1

The second area of the parenting revival is of women catching the vision of their high calling of motherhood and how they can truly influence the nation.

William Ross Wallace wrote in his poem, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.”

Men, no matter what sacrifice has to be made we must, at all costs, encourage our wife and daughters to be homemakers. A home without a full time wife and mother is sterile. The degree of sterility in the atmosphere of the home is according to the amount of time the mother is in or out of the home.

It is important that the wife and mother is glad to be in her home. When a woman sees her home as bondage and hankers to be out in the corporate life and away from the home it brings a negative atmosphere to the home. Psalm 113:9 says, “He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children.”

Husbands, be very encouraging to your wife. Love her, bless her, and make it easy for her to be contented and happy in the home. Work hard to provide for her so she can fulfill her mandate from God.

Psalm 128:3 TLB says, “Your wife shall be contented in your home. And look at all those children! There they sit round the dinner table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees. That is God’s reward to those who reverence and trust him.”

Do everything in your power to encourage your wife in her mothering. She needs lots of encouragement.

Be encouraged to encourage. Colin
