2 Samuel 7:29 (NIV)
29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant,
that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have
spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed
forever.”
Apart from religious influence, the family is the most
important unit of society. It would be good if every home were Christian, but
we know that it is not so. The family and the home can never exert their proper
influence while ignoring the biblical standard. The Bible calls for discipline
and a recognition of authority. If children do not learn this at home, they
will go out into society without the proper attitude toward authority and law.
There is always the exceptional child, but the average tells us that the child
is largely what the home has made him. The only way to provide the right home
for your children is to put the Lord above them, and fully instruct them in the
ways of the Lord. You are responsible before God for the home you provide for
them.
Thought for today:
Is God first in my life?
