Honor-Defined in Hebrew: Kavod is the Hebrew word for honor and respect.
Biblically kavod indicates worth and value, and results in praise. Glory in Hebrew should be seen as abounding in honor and reverence that results in praise.
Honor, Respect and Reverence are required of us before YHWH our Elohim in regard to our Mothers. We must all rise up and Bless each Mother that Abba has placed in our path, physical as well as spiritual.
Proverbs 31:10-31 NKJV
Proverbs 31:28 … 28 Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all.”
The Virtuous Wife
10 Who[a] can find a [b]virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.
15 She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
From [c]her profits she plants a vineyard.
17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.
18 She perceives that her merchandise isgood,
And her lamp does not go out by night.
19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.
20 She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
22 She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.
25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.
We cry out to Abba on behalf of all Mothers according to Proverbs 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. In Yeshua’s Name Amen
Rising up to call our Mother Blessed is important to Adonai. So important that He placed honoring our Mother in the 10 Commandments.
Know today that in honoring all of those who have participated in a Mothering role in your life that your days will be prolonged in the land which the Lord is giving you. Rsing up and declaring each one Blessed.
This excites me personally because I want to live and declare His Word and I want the land that He has for me and to do all that He crested me to do.
I pray that each of us will find great and creative ways to honor all of the Mothers in our lives. That our honor of them will be precious, loving, kind and even extravagant in Jesus Name. Amen
