09- 18- 10 MI DAILY DEVOTION (I Timothy 1: 4-7)
WORK AT HOME
4- “One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5- (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6- Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7- Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.”
Here in the USA, work at home is one of the common words for common people. Who wants to get up early in the morning, struggle with the traffic and sometimes with the reckless, dangerous, discourteous traffic violators on the road anyways? People would rather stay at home and work at home as much as possible rather than being in the office or workplace. The question is, how do you work at home in terms of taking care of your own home or family? What is the foundation of your home? People would sometimes think that having a beautiful home with fireplace two and a half car garage, beautiful lawn and all the gadgets inside the house will make it a happy and stable HOME. The foundation of our home must be based on something heavenly, spiritual and strong.
God- must come first.
(Matthew 6: 33)
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
The Bible:
(Joshua 1: 8)
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
The Word of God should be our guide, our source of knowledge and wisdom. The Word of God should be our Map and our Path. We need faith in the Lord our God. We need faith and we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit which I believe is very important. We must be conscious of the leading and working of the Holy Spirit of God. Let’s ponder on what the writer of the Book of Hebrews says about faith and I know this will really help us in our walk with Him and how we can have it WORK AT HOME.
(Hebrews 11: 1-3; 6)
1- “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2- For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3- Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
6- But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
