How can a mother glorify God?

Tom Ascol explains in this video that if God has blessed a mother with children, she can glorify God by taking care of her children and training up her children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 

Though she may not think that her work is important and though the world might scoff at a mother investing her time and effort to raise her children in the ways of God, it is certainly a noble calling and one where God is glorified. 

Proversb 22:6 (NKJV) - "Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it."



Well, if a mother's been blessed with many small children, then she can be sure that God has smiled upon her and that God will give her grace to handle all of the demands that go with raising little ones. And sometimes When a mom is in that situation, the most glorifying thing she can do is change a dirty diaper. She can do that for God's honor and glory. She cares for those children because God is the one who has given them to her. And she needs to remember that.

Sometimes we think of God's glory and glorifying God as being something dramatic that you do out on the mission field or when you go to be a martyr, but a mother of littles dies daily to take care of them, to sustain them, to model Jesus Christ in front of them, as well as to train them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
