*Proverbs 24:3

Devo Fuel: {Families of Faith}

"Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established." (Proverbs 24:3)

The family is the most important institution in the world. It was God's idea in the first place. It was not the invention of sociologists or economists or government bureaucrats who decides it would make society operate more smoothly. Families existed before cities and governments, before written language, nations, temples, and churches.

In the home , character and integrity are formed, values are made clear, and goals are set. These last a lifetime. And if they aren't formed correctly, that, too, will result in patterns - bad patterns - that last a life time-time, if God doesn't intervene.

Today, Satan is attacking the family as never before. But what are our defenses against such attacks?

As always, our best defense is the Word of God. Read the Bible together as a family. Have family devotions. Pray for one another daily by name. Be on guard against the forces that tend to pull families apart today. And most of all, commit your marriage to Christ, and make Him the center of your home - and your life.

Having said that! Making Christ the center of our lives w/ the accountability of my family. The CAT fellowship is a family to me. I want to make it a priority in my life to spend time together in Gods Word and through prayer to battle against Satan and his minions. As Iron sharpens iron to train up the chosen generation to give God my best in all that I do and hold strong in the tough times = )
