Nehemiah records an extensive list of Jews who vowed that they would not neglect God’s house. During the exile, great neglect had obviously occured.

Today, a similar commitment to God’s House is to be considered. This is best taught in the home. Parents establish good habits in their children, and these habits of faithful church attendance and service can live through generations.

“How lovely is Thy Dwelling Place, O Lord of Hosts.” [Ps. 84:1]

PRAYER: Father, we want to  dwell in Your House all the days of our lives. Whom have we in heaven but You, and there is none upon earth we desire besides You.
