Sufficient Grace

By Sis. Traci Salami 

Women are called to fulfill one of the most sacred duties known to man – to be mothers. Motherhood is no easy feat. We are charged with caring, nurturing, and developing innocent babies into upstanding and God-fearing members of society. 

The sacrifices women make are numerous and some fall short of ideal standards of motherhood when they place their faith in their own abilities rather than God. 

However, we all have the sufficient grace of God that will sustain us. God has a plan for mothers – one that gives them hope and a future. 

While some women crumble under the pressure by insisting on living life their own way, others rise to the occasion and fulfill the calling from the Lord by praying and asking God for help, trusting and believing in God’s plans, and acknowledging their weaknesses. 

Sometimes God blesses those who trust in Him with other “mother-figures” who will step in where the mother is not strong.  

In the story of Tabitha, we learn of a woman so connected to the needs of her community, that God uses her to feed, clothe, and nurture others. 

With Tabitha’s absence, the community mourns as if they had lost their own mother. Women are not only called to be mothers to their own children, but mothers of the community in which they live in order to bring others to Jesus. 

God blesses women with sufficient grace to nurture His children into His bosom and to answer His calling is an honorable act of service to God. 

As the Bible admonishes us to grow in grace & the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, may we be obedient by the help of His Spirit, in Jesus Name. Amen.  

You will have good success this 2021. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
