Motherhood is one of the most incredible, challenging, and rewarding callings out there—just ask any mom who’s reheated her coffee three times before actually drinking it.
From the moment a child is formed in the mother’s womb, the Bible tells us that the fruit of the womb is a heritage of the Lord (which is a nice way of saying that kids are a blessing, even when they leave their socks everywhere).
The first commandment with a promise reminds us to honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long—so yes, listening to your mom really is biblically required!
Whether you’re celebrating your biological mother, a mother figure, or that one amazing woman who’s basically adopted you as her own, Mother’s Day is the perfect time to show some love. It doesn’t matter if she is an older woman or a brand new mom, all moms will love these. And what better way to do that than with inspirational Bible verses about just how awesome moms really are?
When Is Mothers Day?
Mother’s Day in the United States always falls on the second Sunday of May each year.

Mothers Day KJV (King James Version) Focus
If you’re looking for Bible verses that hit just right, the King James Version (KJV) is a solid choice. It’s classic, poetic, and full of wisdom—kind of like the ancient version of your grandmother’s best life advice (but with fewer reminders to bring a jacket).
Proverbs tells us that a virtuous woman is someone who takes care of her family, handles the affairs of her household, and avoids the bread of idleness—which basically means she’s up at dawn, making sure everyone is fed, dressed, and out the door (while probably running on no sleep).
Then there’s the example of thy grandmother Lois and thy mother Eunice, who passed down their unfeigned faith—proof that strong, faithful women shape generations. Mothers, in the way God intended, are a beautiful reflection of sincere faith and love. Just as King Solomon wrote, a virtuous woman’s heart is trusted by her husband, and the fruit of her spirit is evident in the way she teaches her children. Her days are busy and full, as she provides instruction to her children, teaching them the noble things of life and guiding them with the law of thy mother.
She is a comfort to her children, offering them strength through her inward parts, a quiet spirit that reflects unfading beauty. The heart of her husband trusts her completely, and her children rise and call her blessed. Her wisdom, as noble as the city gate, shapes generations, reminding us of the eternal life we have through faith.
Truly, a mother is a living testament to the Lord’s gifts, always giving from the well of her love and nurturing the soul of her family with God’s teaching. Whether she’s your biological mother or a mother figure, her legacy is etched in the way she has poured out love and wisdom into those who call her “mom.”
Whether it’s the teaching of kindness, the faithful instruction, or just knowing exactly where everything in the house is at all times, moms truly are a gift.
