A Noble Mother

In our society today, seldom we can find a noble mother who is a picture in the Bible in the book of Proverbs such as a virtuous woman. Today, many mothers cannot even fulfill even just their simple duty to their family.

A true noble mother is a woman who is;

Treasured by Her Husband

Here is a beautiful picture of the happiness of an ideal marriage that is not only started well but went on well. We can find it in Proverbs 31:10-12, 23&28. She has the three outstanding qualities.

1. 
   
   Her trustworthiness-her husband could trust her utterly. She was honest, truthful and loyal, and he could utterly rely upon her discretion.
2. 
   
   Her affection-she greatly loved the man who greatly loved her, and this was the basis of this wonderful marriage.
3. 
   
   Her influence-when her husband talk to others of their wife, he would always immediately associate his wife, because she was lovely and such a gracious lady. She was a treasure indeed.

Capable in Her Home

1. 
   
   Her industry-what a busy woman she was. There was no chance of her getting bored. Many marriages suffer and the home life becomes disrupted because the wife is bored.
2. 
   
   Her energy-She rose up early and went to bed late. She knew how to manage her servants, invest money, handle property and do business in the market and she was too busy to think about herself.
3. 
   
   Her prudence-this means that she was wise, discreet and acted with forethought. She was a hard worker, a manufacturer, she bought and sold and she did all this with amazing business acumen.

Loved by Her Children

What a beautiful thing it is, if the children loved their mother so much. If she possesses this three outstanding qualities, for sure she would be loved by her children.

1. 
   
   Her thoughtfulness-she was self-effacing and always thinking of others. How different from many of today’s mother s who are self-centered and have no room for their children.
2. 
   
   Her discipline-she disciplines herself and she knew how to discipline her children, and that is one great reason why her children loved her. Children are not only better for it, but they like the right kind of discipline.
3. 
   
   Her wisdom-she opens her mouth with skillful and godly wisdom. And in her tongue is the law of kindness, giving counsel and instruction. What a heritage to have, or to have had, a mother like this!

To establish a right kind of family relationship, mothers should do their true duty. A noble mother.
