Your decrees are very sure; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore.

Psalm 93:5

Does holiness befit my house, righteous Lord? As I think about the activities that go on in my home, the attitudes displayed, and the priorities represented, is it a holy place? I hope so. That’s my desire. Do we put more emphasis on loving you than on acquiring electronic gadgets? Do we love each other rather than fight all the time? Is honesty a hallmark of this home, or do we sneak and hide and deceive and manipulate? Dear Lord, I want a holy home. That’s why I dedicate my dwelling place to you. I want you to feel at home here.

Home is where the heart is most fully what it is.
