To Bless Our Home
Attending church is not an end in itself; it is an encounter with God that transforms our lives and equips us to be a blessing, especially in our homes. David understood this when, after worshiping and fulfilling his purpose in the temple, he returned home with the intention of blessing it. This act reminds us that our relationship with God should be reflected in our daily lives, starting with our family.
Why Attend Church?
- To worship God.
- Worship is our primary purpose for attending church. It is a time to reconnect with God, thank Him, and acknowledge His sovereignty over our lives.
- Through worship, our strength is renewed, and our hearts are prepared to receive what God has for us.
- To learn something practical and relevant.
- At church, we receive teachings that help us face the challenges of daily life.
- These lessons should be applied in our work, school, and especially in our homes, where our actions speak louder than words.
- To return home with blessing.
- It’s not just about what we do in the temple but how we bring God’s presence into our homes.
- Like David, we should return home with the purpose of blessing our family, showing through our words and actions what we have received from God.
Think About It:
- How can you apply what you learn at church in your home this week?
- Are you blessing your family with your words, attitudes, and actions?
- Think of a practical way to bring God’s presence into your home every day.
