Morning and Evening Worship, January 25
Family Worship in My Life
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord
our maker.
Psalm 95:6
The Lord has a special interest in the families of His children here
below. Angels offer the smoke of the fragrant incense for the praying
saints. Then in every family let prayer ascend to heaven both at morning
and at the cool sunset hour, in our behalf presenting before God the
Saviour’s merits. Morning and evening the heavenly universe takes
notice of every praying household.
Come in humility with a heart full of tenderness and with a sense
of the temptations and dangers before yourselves and your children; by
faith bind them upon the altar, entreating for them the care of the Lord.
Ministering angels will guard children who are thus dedicated to God.
Family worship should not be governed by circumstances. You are
not to pray occasionally, and when you have a large day’s work, neglect
it. In thus doing you lead your children to look upon prayer as of no
special consequence. Prayer means very much to the children of God,
and thank offerings should come up before God morning and evening.
Says the Psalmist, “O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a
joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”
It should be a pleasure to worship the Lord.... He desires that those
who come to worship Him shall carry away with them precious thoughts
of His care and love, that they may be cheered in all the employments of
daily life, that they may have grace to deal honestly and faithfully in all
things.
In the home it is possible to have a little church which will honor and
glorify the Redeemer.

When we have good home religion we will have excellent meeting
religion.
