What about your home?

22-28

Home | A Miracle Every Day | Miracles | What about your home?

Serving doesn’t just start at your front door, serving doesn’t just start in your home, serving starts WITH your home!

Okay, this is a steep start today, but I myself am currently very moved by this thought. So often we think we have to “go to church” to serve. Or perhaps only serve through some social work we may do.

But serving actually begins where you wake up in the morning, in your home and with your home.

In Joshua 24:15 we read:
“But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NIV)

In biblical times, “my house” very likely meant “the family.” That alone is quite important and valuable! But what if you decided to serve others with your home, the four walls God has given you?

My parents modelled that so wonderfully for me. Sometimes I would have a gig on Saturday and then when I went to visit my parents on Sunday, I would find visitors from the gig there, inviting them over because they needed help:

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.” (Proverbs 3:27 NIV)

Honestly, the Bible is full of such verses that show us how easily we can serve God! Because serving is something that is possible for all of us.

Each of us has people around us who need help, who need a sympathetic ear, who would benefit from an exchange. Why don’t you prepare a nice moment in your home, with everything that would do this person good, and invite him or her?

“…whoever is kind to the needy honours God..” (Proverbs 14:31 NIV)

It would be so simple. As always, all it takes is your decision to act on God’s Word.

You are a miracle!

    I always thought service for God was thru the church only. I never thought it is also done in our homes, and maybe even thru our communities outside of church. You opened my eyes to the purpose and the service I have been asking God for. Praise God for your wonderful devotions. You are helping a lot of people thru them.
