Day 5: Rebuilding Your Home

Reading: Psalm 127:1, Joshua 24:15

Devotional: Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Your home—whether literal family or your spiritual household—reflects the foundation you've laid. Children absorb how you handle conflict, forgiveness, and relationships. They learn Christianity not from your words but from your actions. When you gossip, harbor unforgiveness, or refuse reconciliation, you're teaching the next generation that faith is optional when it's inconvenient. But when you model authentic repentance, courageous conversations, and genuine forgiveness, you build a legacy of faith. Choosing to serve the Lord means more than Sunday attendance—it means daily decisions to prioritize God, repair relationships, and live with integrity. Your home becomes a lighthouse when it's built on the solid foundation of Christ.

Reflection Question: What one change in your home would best reflect Christ's love and create a healthier spiritual environment?

Closing Challenge: This week, commit to the three R's: Reaffirm your relationship with God through 10 minutes of daily prayer, Reconcile with one person you've been avoiding, and Restore the harm you've caused by taking concrete action. Being "in repair" isn't a destination—it's a lifestyle of continual growth, humility, and Christ-like love in action.
