Mom, The Everyday Superhero
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

How many remember as a child wanting to be a superhero?
- Maybe it was the ex-ray vision of Superman
- Spiderman with his web flinging and ability to walk up the side of a building.
- The instinct of Wonder woman to save hundreds of lives with her lasso.
These are all just fictional characters.
This morning, however, let me introduce you to a special, real SUPERHERO named mom.
Today, my message is entitled: Mom, the Everyday Superhero!
Mothers are such an intricate part of our everyday life.
If it were not for the love, care, and generosity of a mother; we would be completely different people!
There is just something about a mom that makes them extraordinary.
Let me give you a few examples:
- Their ability to go long periods of time without sleep.
- Their ability to be a nurse, without having a degree.
- Their ability to cook amazing meals!
- Their ability to perceive truth.
- Their ability to handle situations.
- Their ability to multi-task.
Mom truly is an everyday Superhero.
Mom is not like most Superheroes; she is special in that she doesn’t need some special outfit.
She is a honorable lady who is:
- Modest
- Loving
- Caring
- Blessed
Proverbs 31 gives us a great look at what mom is.
Proverbs 31:10-31
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Every woman is special whether she is a mother, aunt, sister, daughter, wife, or just a friend, but It truly takes a mom to understand how challenging everyday tasks can be.
Honor your mother today for the sacrifices she has made to play the role she has in your life.
