Families

"Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands; Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table." Psalm 128: 1-3

Psalm 128 was written with a focus on the family. It describes the blessing a family can receive from God. We are all part of a family here on earth. We may have a good relationship with our families or we may struggle at times.

Family relationships take hard work and time to make them grow and prosper. But more than any effort we give, our families need the Lord more than anything else. These verses illustrate the blessings God will pour out when He is first in the home.

Christians have their earthly families, but they also have a family of faith as well. God is our Father and other Christians are our brothers and sisters in Christ. The Bible emphasizes the importance of family relationships within the body of believers as well as with our earthly families.

Let me encourage you to thank God for your families! Pray for the people in your family and encourage each other in Christ on a daily basis.
