Psalm 127:1. “Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” THE FAMILY. In the ancient past, when God first made man He established a reasonable and divine order. When this order is followed, it will work for God’s plan Begins with Him – and is carried on by a father and a mother.
Children come into a home like a house in a walled city Where they are protected from the dangers without. Attitudes in a home from assurance to pity Need to be right to bring right objectives about.
Love has an object; it is not some obscure feeling; Parents and children need to see this in each other. Within the security of a home, there’s a sense of well-being, Strength and provision from father – compassion from mother.
A properly guided family has influences outside; A father’s strength and a mother’s love reach far beyond our scope. How important it is that we who lead our family consistently abide Within the framework of our family, so others too have hope.
It started like this when God chose a pattern for man to live. And it will be like this again at our Father’s home in heaven, A leadership with love so deep it will always be willing to give; And a family so large – each one appreciative for all God has given.
“This family portrait, heavenly Father, clearly shows the importance Thou dost have on the proper conduct of family life. May Stephen and Alexa be able to pass these valuable truths along to others, but most of all, to their own family. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
