When God says...
“Better is a dry morsel with quietness, Than a house full of feasting with strife.” (Proverbs 17:1 NKJV)
He reminds us that our home should be kept a habitat of tranquility, not an arena for fracas. God's design is for it to be a sanctuary of peace - a place to escape from the troubles of the world. A home like that is not necessarily borne out of abundance in material things of the world and its vanities of extravagant social feasting and partying. One may have those, but amidst contention and strife. Especially, when Jesus - the Prince of Peace is left out knocking at the door. He is calling: "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” (Revelation 3:20 NIV)
Yes, if we allow Him in, He will dine with us. In the abundance of His grace by faith in Him, our home will be filled with prayers of thanksgiving and worship. Not bickering and discord. Indeed, even with a popcorn for dinner - His peace reigns in our home, as Apostle Paul exhorts with these words: "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
