Under the leadership of Moses public worship was established in the wilderness. Nevertheless, the children of Israel were counseled to hold family worship. What real security and happiness a Christian family will find in erecting the family altar, in being united to offer up living sacrifices unto the Lord. In a house where God is forgotten, there exists greater temptations to ill-humor, to impatience, to lack of respect for and honor of parents. How many troubles and tragedies exist in families where God is left out.
Domestic piety is a safeguard against so many evils.
It encourages confidence and trust in God. When the hour of trial comes, which sooner or later comes to us all, divine strength is ours. We have assurance of God's guidance through every day. Establish such a worship hour in accordance with your needs as a family. Let there be liberty, not dry routine.
