2 Samuel
6:20. “When David returned home to bless
his family............”
Have you taken the time to
bless your family today?
I heard a Pastor speak who
had experienced a horrendous trial recently, on this small portion of
scripture. As I listened, I found myself
searching my heart and remembering the many times I had entered our home with
accusing questions. I regret the times I
lashed out to my children for not having completed a chore instead of taking a
few moments to establish a positive and respectful attitude. It occurred to me, as I listened to the
speaker, I missed many opportunities to bless my family. I regret the loss of precious teaching and
modeling moments I missed while our children were young and impressionable.
Today, even if you have had a
bad day or you’re tired when you arrive home, take the first few moments to
consciously bless your family.
Often it takes only a short phone call or a
little prayer lifting them up to Jesus.
Make sure you bless your spouse as well, sometimes they need it more
than your children.
Prayer for
today; Heavenly Father, I praise you for
your Word and the lessons in it. Today,
help me to take the time to bless my family.
Let me set a positive note in my home when I see them and compliment them
on their good points. Help me to be an
encourager to them first and then teach wisdom.
In Jesus name, Amen.
