We typically honor our mothers with roses on Mother’s Day. The rose symbolizes love and heartfelt gratitude. Today, let’s honor Manoah’s wife with a bouquet of beautiful roses for her example of motherhood.
Known throughout the Bible as “Manoah’s wife,” another phrase can be used to describe this lovely lady: She was “Samson’s mother.” This gentle woman lived her life in the shadow of two men—her husband, Manoah, and her famous son, Samson, a judge of God’s people and the strongest man who ever lived. Being a wife and mother appears to have been enough for her happiness and fulfillment.
Aren’t you glad the Bible paints such a positive picture of parenting? From it we learn these divine truths about being a mom:
Have a blessed and happy Mother’s Day!
If you’re a mom, your calling is a high and noble one, a momentous stewardship as God entrusts precious children—His special creations—to you!
God, thank You for the women of the Bible and for the one You chose to bring Your beloved Son into this world. Thank You for their example of love and obedience to You. I know that You can do anything through me if I will obey and trust You. Amen.

I know from personal experience that living a life of prayer is not easy. Our lives are filled with a multitude of activities that tend to crowd out time for prayer. How many times have you been guilty of telling someone that you would pray for them? Your heart genuinely yearned to be a part of bringing their need before the throne of God. And then what happened? I’m sure that, if you’re like me, more times than you would like to admit, you forgot about the promise to pray before you rounded the corner of the church building! Why? Because you didn’t write the request down.
Paul knew the importance of strategic prayer in his own life and the lives of others. And he knew what to pray for. His prayers focused on spiritual issues. He knew that if those he was praying for were spiritually mature, they could handle anything.
