Day 2: Providing Spiritually

Reading: Deuteronomy 6:1-8

1 These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess—2 so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.3 Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you.4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

Devotional: We often think of provision in terms of money, but the Word shows that spiritual provision is even more essential. Passing down faith, wisdom, and truth equips the next generation to walk with God. If we don’t disciple our families, the world will. We must intentionally lead in prayer, worship, and study the Scriptures—not just on Sundays, but daily.

Reflection: How often do you engage your family in conversations about faith?

3-Step Application:

1. Set aside 5–10 minutes today to read Scripture or pray with or for your family.

2. Share one testimony of God’s goodness with someone in your home.

3. Begin a weekly devotional or Bible study together as a family.

Closing Prayer: Lord, help me lead my family spiritually. Give me wisdom, boldness, and consistency to pass on Your truth. May our home be a place where Your Word lives and breathes. Amen.
