Having a Blessed Home

We are what we eat and drink. Maybe not spaghetti or iced tea, but we are what we take in. What do you hunger for, or put another way … what is important to you? And what does that have to do with having a blessed home?

 

The Look of a Blessed Home

Christ-centered homes have at least one thing in common: Christ comes first. It isn’t the rules found in Scripture that make a home Christ-centered. It’s the hearts of the people living in it. Reducing Christ to a list of rules leads to legalistic Christianity. Christ isn’t in that.

Having a blessed home isn’t that difficult. Help your family see God as loving, approachable, and involved. Include God in your daily conversations in your home. Make attending church non-negotiable. And show how seeking and serving God can be fun.

Remember, the only way to show love is to practice love. Click To Tweet

Try to put Psalms 63:1 into practice, “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.” You and your family will benefit when a heart—your heart—hungers and thirsts after God.
