Wisdom for Mothers, the first in the series of MotherWise Bible studies, is a course of study to help you understand what the Bible says about marriage and parenting. It will be like reading an instruction manual for family life. Have you ever wondered how your marriage was supposed to work? Maybe you didn’t have good examples from your parents to follow, or maybe you’ve made some big mistakes but you aren’t sure how to get back on track.
Perhaps you are wrestling with how to be a good mom. When you were pregnant with your first child, you thought everything would be okay once the baby was born. But now that you are a mom, you realize you’ve only begun to understand what it takes to be a mother. And the longer you are a mom, the more complicated it gets! Just seeing your last child graduate from high school isn’t the end of mothering. You just begin a new phase of mothering them differently as they are moving into adulthood.
And when you become a grandmother, you start all over again! The learning curve for a mom never stops! In Wisdom for Mothers, we’re going to work together through the priorities of a woman’s life. We’re going to look at our relationships in order of importance. With each relationship, we’re going to look at what makes it work the way God designed it to function. We’ll study the Bible as our textbook. God made us and He gave instructions to faithful men who wrote down those instructions in the Bible. It just makes sense that we should read them.
Our priorities are:
- Our relationship with God
- Our relationship with ourselves—loving ourselves as God does
- Our relationship with our husbands
- Our relationship with our children
- Our relationship with the world through our work and activities
- Our relationship with the world through our ministry
