Biblical Encouragement for Everyday Motherhood
Have you ever whispered to yourself, I’ll be a better mom tomorrow…but tomorrow never comes? Maybe you’re comparing yourself to other moms and feel you aren’t measuring up. But don’t lose hope. Just as moms in Scripture learned from life’s ups and downs, with God’s help, you can become the mom you long to be.
Moms of the Bible explores timeless life lessons from Bible moms of all types, revealing how their stories of failure, faith, and hope can help you fulfill your own calling with confidence. From the redeemed Rehab to the horrible Herodias, each story unveils eye-opening insights and powerful applications that can help you as you seek to raise up children who impact their generation with fearless faith.

excerpt
Have you ever done this with your own kids? When you come to realize they’re hiding from you because they’ve done wrong, do you ask them questions to draw out what they did and why they did it? You would do well to learn from God’s example. This is a great to approach your child when they’ve acted wrongly. Sometimes it feels easier to bark at them, “Oh mister, you’re in so much trouble. You know better than that. Go to your room.” But, God’s way is a path to open dialogue with your child, and an opportunity to help them recognize and acknowledge their sin. This practice can shepherd your child’s heart toward repentance and future obedience.
Even though Adam and Eve deeply regretted their sin, remorse could not reverse the devastating effects of what they had done. God imposed life-altering consequences upon them. In the same way, even if your child expresses regret, asking probing questions will connect your heart to your child’s. And this process can help you discern whether they are displaying remorse over their sin or regret for getting caught––Big difference! Your job is to help them comprehend the difference and come to a place of godly grief leading to repentance.
Your godly discipline should impose age appropriate consequences weighed against the severity of their infraction. In other words, don’t ground your kid for a month if it’s the first time he took a cookie without asking. Instead, consider withholding dessert after dinner. However, if taking a cookie has become a habitual practice pay attention. Proverbs 22:6 instructs parents to train up their child according to their bent, this practice involves recognizing your child’s propensities and helping them break sinful habits before they become second nature for them.
