This beautiful verse reminds us of the diligence and care that honors the Lord in homemaking. Watching over the ways of our household is such important work.
2️⃣ Titus 2:4-5
“That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.”
We are called to be faithful keepers of the home. This role is both biblical and deeply impactful in today’s culture.
3️⃣ Colossians 3:23-24
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.”
