Scripture: "But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord." – Joshua 24:15 (NLT) Observation: Family is a sacred design of God’s grace—a place where love is tested, forgiveness is practiced, and faith takes root. Joshua’s declaration shows the power of a family united in serving God. It’s not about perfection but about direction. When a family chooses to place God at the center, they find strength, resilience, and joy, even in life’s storms. This scripture invites every family to embrace God’s grace as their foundation. Application: I’ve come to realize that my family is a living workshop where God teaches us to love like Him. Every prayer we share, every moment of grace we extend to one another, builds a stronger bond. Today, I’m committing to small but intentional actions—encouraging words, shared prayer, or a thoughtful gesture—that invite God to shape my family. What can you do today to bring God’s grace into your family? Prayer: Father, thank You for my family. Even in our flaws and struggles, I see Your hand at work. Help me to love, serve, and forgive as You do. May we honor You in our words and actions and draw closer to one another and to You. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
