Make a Statement

But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve ... But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.
— JOSHUA 24:15 (NIV)

There are so many distractions readily available with an ability to destroy the very fabric of our family’s lives. Instead of reading together, books are replaced with video gaming and streaming services. Instead of intimate conversations at the dinner table, your day, hopes, goals, and dreams are shared with strangers on social media. As believers, it’s not the new president’s or even local government’s job to take back our families. It’s our jobs!

Make a statement in your household today that you and your family will serve the Lord. Write the vision and mission for your family and make it plain. Carve out time in your hectic schedule to pray daily, have family meetings, set goals, and share dreams.  Explain who God is to the members of your household and allow questions to be asked freely. Making this kind of statement in your household is the beginning of leaving an inheritance for your children’s children.

This is my prayer
