A word of wisdom to mothers and wives
By Dr. Betty Price

I believe that to be a wife or mother is a precious, divine calling. Perhaps if more women understood that concept before entering marriage, or becoming mothers, we wouldn’t have such sad statistics like high divorce rates or teenage pregnancy.

We know what God’s Word tells us in Proverbs 18:22: He who finds a wife finds a good thing . . . .

And Proverbs 23:13-14 tells us that as mothers we should . . . not withhold correction from a child . . . because it will help to . . . deliver his soul from hell.

As Christian women, we must do all that it takes to be good wives, and that means understanding and supporting our husbands in every way that lines up with God’s Word.

The same goes for being a good mother. Motherhood is more than making sure that your child has food and clean clothes on his back. It also means training your child to be godly.

It takes a godly woman to help shape a man of God. Christian women play pivotal roles in the lives of godly men. Whether it is mother, wife, or even sister, women are utilized in God’s kingdom to help guide, support and nurture men.

Not every woman is called to be a wife or mother, but for those who are, there are duties that go along with the role. One of the wisest men on earth explained just how valuable a godly wife is.

Proverbs 31:10-11:
Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts in her;

During the early years of my marriage, Fred and I had our challenges, but each one of those challenges was defeated when we understood how to apply God’s promises. As Fred’s wife, I prayed for my husband and sought God’s counsel on how to best support, love and uplift him and provide for our family.

It is so wonderful to be my husband’s partner (Genesis 2:24) in ministry, and in our home. I don’t take lightly the importance of my role as a godly wife. I’m serving the Father when I am successful in my duties as a wife.

Our role as Christian mothers is to raise our children to be godly children. We must train and guide our children in the way of the Lord so that when it comes time for them to leave our households, they will walk uprightly and go on to be productive members of society.

This truth is especially true with sons. Sons grow up to become men who will be the heads of families. It is a fact that if a young boy is being taught how to live a Christ-like lifestyle when he grows up he will have all the tools needed to choose a virtuous Christian woman to be his helpmate.

I believe that is the case with Fred Jr. Ever since birth, he’s been under the guidance and training of two godly parents and a Word-teaching ministry.

He attended and graduated from Frederick K.C. Price III Schools and a Christian college where he received the formal education to pursue his ministry calling. He married a beautiful, loving Christian woman, Angel, and is now pastor of Crenshaw Christian Center.

I give God all the glory for His favor and blessings, which are demonstrated in the lives of all our children. I believe that God was able to do what He has done for our children because Fred and I were faithful in raising them in the ways of the Lord.

First Peter 3:5-6:
For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands,

as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror.

Hallelujah! Standing beside every faithful and victorious man of God is a supportive, virtuous and loving godly woman!
