But Samuel, though he was only a boy, served the Lord. . . . Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord. . . [and] grew taller and grew in favor with the Lord and with the people.
1 Samuel 2:18, 21, 26
Oh, that our children would grow up in the presence of the Lord! May our homes be filled with it, may our lives be filled with it, may it be our daily place of abiding.
Look at the beautiful things that accompany growing up in the presence of the Lord: serving Him from youth and finding His favor. May it be for our children as it was for Samuel.
Dear LORD, fill our homes with Your glorious presence. Help us, as mothers, to invite and usher this presence into our homes. Make it real, make it tangible - let our children feel it. Let it impact their hearts and draw them closer to Yours. Let them find favor with You and with people and grow in their desire to serve You. In Jesus’ name, amen.
