Family Matters

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” Matt. 7:24
Even though you can’t see the foundation of a house, it is actually the most important part of the structure of the home. The same is true as far as our family is concerned. It doesn’t really matter what it may look like on the outside, if the foundation is not firm, it can fall!
I have seen marriages fall apart & everyone being shocked because they thought they had a “perfect” marriage. The truth is that there are no perfect marriages, because there are no perfect people, and a marriage is only as strong as the two people in it. Instead of trying to make our family life “appear” to be great, maybe we should reconsider the foundation of it & be sure it is strong.
The most important thing is to be sure that our foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ. He must be the center of our family. He is the “ROCK” of our foundation! When we are founded on Him, even when the storms of life come, our family can continue to stand.
You may say, “ my family is not really interested in serving God.” Well, it has to start somewhere! What about with you? You make the decision to go to church, pray & read the Word. Every time you do, you are making your foundation stronger! God really wants to help our family life!
