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. — Joshua 24:15

We can’t speak for everyone in our family, but we can promise to do what everyone should want: serve the Lord. But let’s do more than just say we’ll do it. Let’s show others how to do it. “Today, I will serve the Lord!” We can then ask them to come with us.

Prayer

O sweet Shepherd, teach me how to lead my family to adore you more. Please bless and thank you for my parents’ faith. Please grant me the confidence and empathy I need to convey your truth with my children. O God, bless those parents who strive to produce virtuous children who will marry the children you’ve given me someday. I want you to feel known, valued, acknowledged, and cherished in my home. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
