A household learning to serve the Lord

Scripture

Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Colossians 3:13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Reflection

Scripture pictures family as a shared allegiance to God, marked by mercy, humility, and honest reconciliation.

Prayer

Lord, let our home be marked by mercy, patience, and your peace.

Pause and consider

Choose one small repair today: an apology, a thank-you, or an unhurried conversation.
