Do you ever find yourself lacking in spunk and feeling weighed down by the everyday cares of life? We all have those days when we’re weary, lacking in motivation, and can’t seem to catch up on everything. Maybe it’s mental exhaustion that’s become burdensome and overwhelming. It can be disheartening when we’re running behind and struggling to have a good mindset too.

The Bible is full of instructions and encouragements for homemakers, wives, and mothers. Yet, our busy, fast-paced world tells us to go-go-go without taking the proper time to read what God has to say about us and the importance of our roles as homemakers. Taking time to stop and lay down our cares while rejuvenating our souls will help us carry on with purpose and a calmed spirit.

Let these Bible verses also serve as a reminder of God’s guidance He offers as you embrace the importance of your role.

Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.”

Proverbs 31:10-31~

“An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. She looks for wool and flax and works with her hands in delight. She is like merchant ships; she brings her food from afar. She rises also while it is still night and gives food to her household and portions to her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; from her earnings she plants a vineyard. She girds herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night. She stretches out her hand to the distaff, and her hands grasp the spindle. She extends her hand to the poor, and she stretches out her hand to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She makes coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies belts to the tradesmen. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; her husband also, and he praises her, saying: ‘Many daughters have done nobly, but you excel them all.’ Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.”
