Are you if you are already older preparing younger women to be godly mothers?

The hope for our society really rests in what happens in the next generation,

and that is so much in the hands of godly women. Hannah was barren but faithful to God and ultimately God blessed her faith with a son.

Remember his name?

It was Samuel and he is one of the great heroes of the faith.

Yet even more amazing is the fact that Hannah gave up the day-to-day responsibilities of raising Samuel.

So how then is she considered one of the great biblical examples of motherhood?

As Mother's Day approaches, dig into Hannah's story here on Grace to You.

John MacArthur is going to show you why her life reflects God's design for all women.

Yesterday, John examined the first of three factors that made

Hannah a godly mother. He'll review point one to start and here's John. It is

fitting that we take another look at what God intends motherhood to be.

The highest calling a woman will ever know.

But when the Bible details the honor due to a mother. No more detail is given to anyone beyond

Hannah. We meet her in 1st Samuel 1.

Hannah. Her name speaks of her beauty. It means grace, and indeed she is the emblem of the

grace of womanhood. She became a mother by faith. She first appears as First Samuel opens as a childless woman. Then she

becomes a mother, the mother of one of the greatest men who ever walked the earth,

Samuel, and as you see the account of the birth of Samuel,

you note the profile of a godly mother.

As we are introduced to this story, I want us to note three things that profile a godly mother.

She had a right husband relationship.
