BILLY GRAHAM DEVOTIONAL 8TH MAY 2022 (THE INFLUENCE OF A MOTHER)
TOPIC: THE INFLUENCE OF A MOTHER”
SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise up, and call her blessed…
MESSAGE
Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. Someone has said, “Like mother, like children.”
Most of the noble characters and fine leaders of history have had good, God-fearing mothers. We are told that George Washington’s mother was pious, and that Sir Walter Scott’s mother was a lover of poetry and music.
On the other hand, we are told that Nero’s mother was a murderess and that the dissolute Lord Byron’s mother was a proud and violent woman.
The influence of a mother upon the lives of her children cannot be measured. They know and absorb her example and attitudes when it comes to questions of honesty, temperance, kindness, and industry.
Prayer for the day
Thank You, Lord, for mothers who love You. Their influence is felt around the world.
