Wordy Wednesday: Encounter Him
I’ve been reading The Quiet Place: Daily Devotional Readings by Nancy Leigh DeMoss most days this year. I was able to put it on my Kindle for free last October. It has been an encouraging devotional – and one that I’ve actually stayed with for the year. (I’ve missed a few days, I usually read it in the evening, but it’s easy to catch up). Good things to think about, she closes with a questions or two at the end of each day toconsider.
A couple of weeks ago, I read this encouraging and convicting statement and wanted to share it.
God, you see, is the ultimate Homemaker. If you
are His child, He is right now preparing “a place” for you to live
forever with Him (John 14:2). In the meantime, our homes here on earth
can provide a foretaste of that heavenly Home. He wants your home and
mine to reflect His heart and grace. To be a place where the reality and
presence of Christ are felt. A place where His Word is honored. A place
where the atmosphere is one of authentic love, kindness, and truth. A
place where both those who live there and those who visit encounter Him.

Convicting indeed.
Beautiful. That's the atmosphere I want my home to have: "authentic love, kindness, and truth."
That is my prayer.
I agree, convicting, but also freeing. Lots of things we can get caught up in at home but only one thing is needful-to know Him.
Wow, you're right, Encouraging and Convicting. Is the rest of the book just as good?
Yes! I really like it. Challenging and readable.
