PROMISE #53 - FEBRUARY 22

God setteth the solitary in families: [God places people who are lonely in families.] ~Psalm 68:6

Family is very important to God. Paul the Apostle says in Ephesians 3:14-15, "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." God knows that we were made to be in families, so in today's promise, we see how God puts people who are alone in families.

He wants us to have family life on earth with our brothers and sisters in Christ as well as family life in heaven. Jesus tells us in John 8:35, "And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever." We will always be a part of God's family, no matter how good or bad our earthly family has been on Earth.

If you have trouble getting along with your earthly family, don't worry. You are part of an amazing spiritual family where we can call each other brothers and sisters because we all have the same Heavenly Father. We're so blessed to be part of God's family.

Prayer:

Thank you, Father, for putting me in your wonderful family where I will always belong. I realize that I am never alone in this life. I am in the best family in the universe because of what Jesus has done for me. Please help me remember today that You are with me and that You will never leave or forsake me.

I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
