# 1 Chronicles 16 #soap ## Title: Don’t Forget The Most Important Ministry ## Scripture: (1 Chronicles 16:43) “Then all the people returned to their homes, and David went to pronounce a blessing on his family.” (NET) ## Observation: David has had a big day. After the big day, it would have been understandable for him to want to chill out and “fall apart.” There will be time for that, but first he blesses his family. It’s okay to see your home as a place of rest and a place to “let your hair down.” But, never forget it is also the epicenter for your greatest ministry. One day when we get to Heaven, there is no telling what we will be asked to answer for. We don’t always know what influence God will give us in the lives of others. However, we can be sure He’ll ask us about our family. Now, this question will not be a salvation question. That is about Jesus. This will be about the stewardship of our lives. He will likely not ask us how we honored Him on social media. He will ask us about our influence in our family. Make it count every day. ## Application: Live in such a way that those around you love Jesus more because of your example. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for helping us never lose sight of our greatest ministry.
