ποΈ COMMENTARY
The duty of the mother in the home cannot be overemphasized when we consider her contributions to the wellbeing of the family. Motherhood is not a
title but a responsibility. William Ross Wallace John defined "motherhood as the hand that rocks the cradle, and the hand that rules the world."
The Bible enumerated some qualities of a godly and virtuous woman; she is such a priceless being in the home as her value is far above rubies. The summary of the qualities/duties are as stated below:
ππΏ She must be fully trusted by her husband (Prov 31:11),
ππΏ She must have discretion (Prov 11:22),
ππΏ She must speak with wisdom (Prov 11:26),
ππΏ She must be her husband's faithful companion and closest confidant (Malachi 2:14),
ππΏ She must love and embrace her children (Psalm 113:9; Titus 2:4).
ππΏ She must gracefully carry herself in everything (Prov 11:16).
ππΏ She must be able to manage her home (Prov 31:27; Titus 2:5; 1 Tim
5:14):
ππΏ She must be diligent; She must be able to accomplish anything entrusted to her care (Prov 31:13; 1 Tim 5:10);
ππΏ She must be firm in her convictions and desires to teach younger women by example and instruction. (Titus 2:4)
ππΏ She is prudent, intelligent, productive, skilful, wise with high
understanding (Prov. 19:24).
ππΏ She is an inexhaustible store house of energy to her home. She should be able to keep the house neat and orderly (1 Tim 4:14; Prov 31:15).
ππΏ She manages the household by applying God's laws including tithes and offerings and plans with her husband to have funds available to attend to essential feasts.
