First, I want to apologize as I normally try to have the new devotional finished at least a couple of days before the next month begins… we’ve had a lot on our plates here lately, but I finally finished it! I have not completed the other devotional videos that I have been working on though… but GOD is working in that situation and we have witnessed HIS hand in so many areas this past month that it has been AMAZING!
Every morning, our families make a conscious choice about what to wear. We check the weather, look at our schedules, and pull garments from the closet to get ready for the day. But as Christian parents and teachers, how often do we pause with our children to intentionally choose our spiritual wardrobe before the schoolbooks open or the busy day begins?
In a loud, fast-paced world that tells us to look out for number one, scripture invites us to bring our families into a beautifully different rhythm. In Colossians 3:12, we are given a divine dress code: “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering.” Godly character isn’t something that just happens; it is an identity we actively choose to put on every single day.
True meekness and godly character are not signs of weakness—they are strength under control. It is the wisdom to give a soft answer when sibling bickering starts, the quiet confidence of knowing who we are in Christ, and the patience to bear with one another’s mistakes.
Over the next 31 days, our families are going to lay down our sharp defenses, our arguments, and our frantic pacing. Through short daily scriptures, family-friendly discussion questions, and simple prayers, we will explore what it looks like to intentionally build a culture of grace right at home. Gather the kids around the table, open your hearts, and let’s begin clothing ourselves in the enduring beauty of Godly character.
