What if you couldn’t protect your family?

 

Before I go to bed I make sure the windows and doors are locked, the alarm is on, and the house secure. But what if there were no windows to shut? No doors to lock? Proverbs 25 says living without self-control is like a city with no walls. A parent who puts the family in debt, can’t control their tongue or set boundaries for their kids, and is without self-control leaves their family vulnerable to harm. Parents, temptation will come. Ask God to give you wisdom to stand and protect your home.
