His Word in your home
i'm pretty sure it was His idea all along to have His Word in the very crevices where we live, lie down, and do life.
the Scriptures of Old speak of God directing the people to have His commands and laws written in their homes. {Deuteronomy 6:6-9}
then it's recorded that believers in the New Testament gathered in each other's homes to eat with joyful hearts and to praise and to enjoy one another's presence. {Acts 2:46-47}
maybe your house is quite different from mine, but joyful hearts and enjoying each other's presence doesn't happen daily without something supernatural!
so with purpose, we went into each room of our home and read Scripture and prayed for His presence to dwell.
maybe we shared what we loved to do in the room or what we envisioned taking place in the coming years.
then we took the piece of paper with the Scripture just read aloud and hid it in the room.
immediately a favorite for the kids.
slipped it under the mattress
placed it in the bottom of a drawer
hid it behind a wall frame
stuck it to the trash can
nestled it inside a book
and who knows where the one outside went
is His Word spoken
prayed
visible
tucked away
made the cornerstone in your home?
i've got the verses we used as a printable.
you've probably got some verses that have special meaning for your family
or that you want to claim as truth in your home.
write them out and in an informal way, make it a family night to invite God into the very place that He loves to dwell.
