Day 2 – God’s Kingdom in My Family

Joshua’s declaration is one of the boldest commitments in Scripture. Standing before the people of Israel, he made a choice that would ripple through his household: to serve the Lord above all else. This statement wasn’t made half-heartedly; it was a decisive stand against the idols and distractions that tempted his generation.

Families are the foundation of society, and when God’s kingdom reigns in the home, it creates a ripple effect that extends to communities and beyond. Serving the Lord as a family means centering your home around His Word, love, and ways. It shapes how decisions are made, resolves conflicts, and expresses passion.

Yet, this commitment isn’t always easy. Family life can bring challenges, tensions, and competing priorities. Still, God desires to be the unshakable center. When we invite His kingdom into our families, He brings unity where there is division, healing where there is hurt, and joy where there is weariness.

Joshua’s words remind us that each generation has a choice: Will we serve the idols of convenience, culture, and self, or will we serve the living God? The answer we give doesn’t just affect us; it influences generations to come.

Today, pray that God’s kingdom would mark your family. Ask Him to rule over your home, shaping it into a place of faith, love, and service to Him.
