Mother’s Day is next month and I thought that I would spend this time by sharing lots of different Bible verses to encourage you on your walk with Christ, especially as a mother in the faith. I am a single mom, and I know that putting God first in my life has given me such great strength and courage when it comes to raising my child, and living my life the way that God intended for me to live.

We are all created with a unique purpose and as mothers, one of our main purposes is to raise up our children in The Lord. When we put God first, at the head of our household, our influence and focus shifts from that of the world, to that of The Word. When we fully submit to God and obey Him, our lives change for the better. We, as Christians, must follow God in all that we do, and allow Him to guide us on the right path; on the straight and narrow. When it comes to our children, we must raise them in the right way, the Biblical way, and encourage them to follow God, too. 

I pray that you have a wonderful Mother’s Day with your family and that you are encouraged by these Bible verses I have shared here:

Bible Verses For Mother’s Day In The Old Testament:

1. Genesis 3:20 – “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living”.
2. Exodus 14:14 – “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace”. 
3. Deuteronomy 4:9-10 – “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons; Specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children”.
4. Deuteronomy 5:16 – “Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee”.
5. Deuteronomy 6:6-7 – “And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up”.
6. 1 Kings 3:16-28 – In these scriptures, we read the story about two mothers who lived together and both had a baby. Unfortunately one of the babies had died in their sleep and so one of the mothers swapped the babies so that the other mother would awake to find the dead baby in her arms. They went before King Solomon to fight over whose baby it was. King Solomon decided to take a sword and split the baby in half, so that way, the mother’s would have half a baby each. One of the mother’s thought that that was a great idea. But the true mother of the baby said, no! don’t do that! Give that baby to her!

   King Solomon knew who the real mother was. This story gives us a powerful representation of true mother’s love for her child. She loved the baby so much that she would rather him be alive, and given to the other mother, than to have him split in half. 

7. Psalm 28:7 – “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him”.

10. Psalm 128:1-6 – “Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord. The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel”.
11. Psalm 131:2 – “Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child”.

20. Proverbs 31:10-31 – “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates”.

23. Isaiah 66:13 – “As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem”. 
24. Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end”.
25. Lamentations 3:22-23 – “It is of the Lord‘s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness”.

Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
