| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"Families are important. Every person on the planet was born into the family God prepared for them -- it wasn't accidental. Our upbringing shapes the person we become as an adult. By the age of ten, our fundamental core values have already been formed in our lives.
Some people grow up in godly families where their faith is at the forefront of everything they do. For others, faith in God is absent in their homes, and they are left going through life without an Anchor, never certain if they are doing the right thing.
God's Word gives us a foundation to build our lives upon. When we need to make decisions, we can seek God in prayer and study the Bible. Even though we have these guides, the best time to make decisions is before the pressure is on. We can decide on the things that matter before we are standing face to face with them.
"

Within our families, we can make the choice that Joshua made in the Old Testament -- "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
Not everyone grows up in a Christian home, but how you raise your family and care for those around you is a choice that you make. You may not have children or a spouse, but God can use you to lead others at work or in your community.
Stand firm in God's strength to lead yourself and others to Him.
