Do Not Allow Your Family to Become Divided

Fragmented families cannot escape the flood. We need to understand that unity within our home is essential to follow God's plans. Therefore, their is  importance in a family that is always talking, praying together, and sharing life together. How can we say we love God and mistreat or ignore our spouses or children who are by our side every day?

Noah's family worked together before the flood, and continued doing so during the time they remained inside the ark. Imagine the work that went into taking care of all those animals and the tasks to maintain the ark in itself. They needed to be very organized and work together under the same purpose. Unity within the ark was essential.

A home must be a place of shelter, love, and respect. Husbands must respect their wives, and wives their husbands. Children need to learn how to talk with parents, and parents with their children. Society shows us marriages that do not last, and children who disrespect their parents. But God says we become one when we get married, and commands the children to honor their parents in the Lord.

Togetherness is essential for a blessed home. It is not automatic, often it will need to be worked upon with much dedication, conversation, and in some cases upon forgiveness and reconciliation. For us to be blessed, our home must be blessed, for a divided home cannot stand.
