FAMILY MATTERS

December 19, 2025

After personally leading a successful campaign to return the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, David “returned home to bless his family” (1 Chron. 16:43). Jesus, in the midst of His suffering on the cross, becoming the means of forgiveness for the sin of the whole world, gave His mother Mary into the care of the disciple whom He loved (Jn. 19:26-27). Are we as focused on living, loving, and leading like Jesus in our family relationships as we are in professional or ministry roles? Jesus clearly was.

Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.—1 Timothy 5:8

Prayer: Jesus, as leaders who follow in Your footsteps, help us follow Your example in our personal and family relationships. We want to honor You at home as much as we honor You in public. Open our eyes to how we can bless our families, we pray in Your name, amen.

Believing Is Seeing December 17, 2025

Mary knew about believing the Lord’s promises. For nine months before Jesus’ birth, she trusted God to sort out all of the details surrounding Gabriel’s announcement. She traveled to see Zechariah and Elizabeth, she told Joseph and her parents what the angel had said. She watched how they responded even as she felt the signs of new life take shape within her. With each breath she trusted God, she saw His faithfulness, and she placed her trust in Him. His promises to her proved true.

Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!—Luke 1:45

Prayer: Lord, may we, like Mary, believe that You will fulfill Your promises to us. As we gaze upon Jesus, may we treasure Your Son and Your Word in our hearts. May we move into the future in faith and see You at work. In the name of Jesus, in whom all of Your promises are true, we pray, amen.
