The Home Life

Begin at home; this is where the Lord began. "Honour thy father and thy mother." Obey your parents; help them all you can in the work of the home. How very many things there are that you may do in the home, to the glory of God. Little things they may be, but it is by doing little things that we become fitted to do greater things. Speak to God in the inner chamber about your home life; pray daily about it; also for all who share the home with you, father and mother, brother and sister-pray for them. If they are disciples, you can help them by your prayers; and if they are not, you need to pray for them just as much, and you will find that as you exercise yourself on their behalf, as well as your own, your love for them will grow stronger as the days go by, and the effect of your daily communion with God will be seen and known by all as you move in and out amongst them, seeking to do all things to the glory of God.
