At Home
Good morning church,
Paul sometimes meddles with everything! JNot only does he give instructions for leaders, teachers, and apostles, but also he gives instructions for “Christian households.” I can’t help but sometimes feel offended J. Yet…. When I read today’s passage I can see Paul’s intention is to steer to our higher calling. We are to reflect Christ at church and wherever we go: at work, at play AND at home. Paul gives advice to father, children, wives, husbands, salves (current: workers), etc. Paul calls us to do everything as unto the Lord! So, I encourage you to read this passage with new eyes, thinking and pondering of what it means for us today.
Questions to Consider:
1. If Paul were writing in our current day: who do you think would be the ones listed as members of the household?
2. Vs. 23 says, “Work willingly at whatever you do…” What do you do today? If you are not involved, what could you willingly do to serve? Find out what are opportunities that you can serve your community willingly.
Activity for the Day: Identify what role you play in your family: husband, wife, mother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, etc. If you live alone, you are still: neighbor, friend, golfer, volunteer, etc. Once you have found one role, think of how you can adjust that role and living out that role as one in service to Christ. Be Specific!
Blessings,
Loida
