Key Scripture: Joshua 24:15
As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.
Devotional
Faithful service begins at home. Before we look outward, God invites us to serve those under our roof. Meals made, prayers whispered, and patient conversations become holy ministry when offered to Him.
The home is a discipleship center, where forgiveness is practiced and love is proven. Serving our families is not lesser work; it is foundational kingdom work.
Small daily acts shape legacies. Children learn Christ’s love by how we serve; spouses feel Christ’s care through our kindness.
Ask God for one simple way to serve your family today that points them to Jesus.
