"Every wise woman buildeth her house..."
Proverbs 14:1
As a Christian, what is the purpose of our home?
Is it to be used as fuel for competition with the Joneses, or to burden us with unnecessary cares and countless hours of work?
"If our view of our homes is shortsighted, there is no motivation to accomplish the menial tasks of maintaining it. If we don’t cultivate a high and holy design for our homes, it is easy to slip into thoughts of frustration, comparison, or purposelessness.Most importantly, what does the Bible say about our home?
If we view our homes as a place of hospitality – to welcome our families and the hurting around us – there will be so much more strength and motivation to keep it clean, organized, and prepared."
