Mom-isms from Biblical moms:

a. There has been some commonality through the years when it comes to motherhood let’s look at just a few Bible mom’s and imagine what they had to deal with and how they handled raising their children.

ILL Notebook: Mother (Great Sayings of Biblical Mothers). In fact, we have some quotes of mothers from biblical times to show you that some things just don’t change.

1. Samson! Get your hand out of that lion. You don’t know where it’s been! (Judges 14:5-8)

2. David! I told you not to play in the house with that sling! Go practice your harp. We pay good money for those lessons!

3. Abraham! Stop wandering around - the countryside and get home for supper!

4. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego! Leave those clothes outside, you smell like a dirty ol’ furnace!

5. Cain! Get off your brother! You’re going to kill him some day!

6. Noah! No, you can’t keep them! I told you, don’t bring home any more strays!

7. Gideon! Have you been hiding in that wine press again? Look at your clothes! (Judges 6:11)
