For I have chosen him so that he will instruct his children and his household after him to keep the way of The Lord by doing what is right and just. This is how The Lord will fulfill to Abraham what He promised Him.
Genesis 18:19
Now get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a witness and a messenger of what you have seen and of what I will reveal to you. I will rescue you from the people and from the gentiles. I now send you to them to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of satan to God, that by faith in me they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified.
Acts 26:16-18
Your children. Your household. Those He sends us to. The Mighty Eternal One tells us that EVERY PERSON belongs to Him. Since all the days of our life are written in His Book before a single one of them comes to pass, and every person belongs to Him, then there is no such thing as a chance meeting. When He sends me to someone or He sends someone to me, for that brief time, they are entrusted into my care, in my household, for me to share with them what He entrusted to me. John Wesley said something to John Newton that applies to all who call themslves by Christ's name: "You appear to be designed by divine providence to be a healer of breaches, a reconciler of honest but prejudiced men and a uniter (happy work) of the children of God." You also my friend are indeed designed by Divine Providence, with a divine purpose... that should change your outlook on how you order your steps today, really they are His steps:) As you live in Christ Jesus, teaching by example, some of those in your household will learn to turn to Him and finally recieve ALL they long for by keeping and teaching His way.
Proverbs 16:7,9, Matthew 5:13-16
