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 gentle Shepherd, teach me how to make my family love you more. Bless my parents and accept my gratitude for their faith. Please give me the fortitude and discernment I need to effectively communicate your truth to my children. God, bless those parents who are trying to raise godly kids who will eventually marry the kids you gave me. You should feel recognized, honored, and loved in my home, according to me. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
