Psalm 133:1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!

Try this experiment. Go outside and and pick up a twig. (Maybe wait until it warms up!) Grasping each end, bend the twig. It bends easily, doesn't it? It may even break. Now pick up four or five twigs. Holding them together in a bunch, try to bend them. Not as easy, is it?

The same principle holds true for families. When all in a family are united in harmony - staying together, praying together - the storms of life may shake us, but they won't break us.

How much more powerful, then, the family who stands together in the Lord! In Matthew 18:20, Jesus promised, "Where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." When we invite Jesus to fill our homes with His presence, we will be blessed to find harmony and love which could never exist without Him.

We need one another in every way - praying before meals, doing devotions daily, attending church services as a family, working in the yard, and watching TV together. The family that is unified, that vows to live according to God's Word, will weather the storms of life and be stronger for the journey.
