Love God Greatly: Ruthنمونہ

Our sinful choices impact our whole family. Here Mahlon and Chilion followed the poor example of their father and chose to live like pagans. Rather than fear God and obey, they chose wives who did not follow Jehovah God. The famine that was in the land they had left now inhabited their hearts, and they lost their very lives. Naomi was left truly barren and empty. Sin leads to grief and sorrow that poisons everyone in our home. If you were raised in a godly home, thank God for the legacy of faith that set you on the right course. If you grew up in a home where sin ran rampant, you can break that cycle by asking God for forgiveness and choosing to walk in obedience to His Word. May our homes be built on a legacy of faith that honors God. Father God, thank You for the gift of family. We want our homes to honor You. We want to leave a legacy of faith in our children. Show us how to build wisely and please You. Amen.
