Surrounded By The Word

Our house has been framed up and this week Donna and I took the opportunity to inscribed the Word of God on the framework of our new home.

We chose scriptures for each room of the house. In the garage, which is the first part of the house you get to on our property we wrote,

Psalm 91:10, No evil will befall thee and no plague shall come near your dwelling. 

In the foyer we wrote, 

Psalm 100:4, Enter His gates with thanksgiving. Come into His courts with praise.

In my office we wrote, 

2 Timothy 2:15, Study to show yourself approved unto God.

In our pantry we wrote,

Philippians 4:19, My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.

In the kitchen we wrote,

Matthew 6:11, Give us this day our daily bread.

In the laundry room we wrote,

Psalm 51:7, Wash me and I will be whiter than snow.

In our Master closet we wrote, 

Colossians 3:12, Clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 

And,

Ephesians 6:11, Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the devil's schemes.

In our bedroom we wrote, 

Proverbs 3:24, When you lie down you will not be afraid; when you lie down your sleep will be sweet.

In our living room we wrote,

Joshua 24:15, As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.

Also,

Philippians 4:19, And the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Above the fireplace where our tv will be we wrote,

Psalm 101:3, I will set no evil thing before my eyes.

In our dining room we wrote,

Psalm 23:5, He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies. 

In our bathroom we wrote,

Exodus 23:25, I will take sickness from among you.

In our grandchildren's bedroom we wrote,

Proverbs 22:6, Tain up a child in the way he should go and when he is older he will not depart from it. 

Also in our grandchildren's area we wrote,

Acts 16:31, Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved - you and your house.

In Donna's office,

Proverbs 31:27, She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 

On our back porch we wrote,

Isaiah 26:3, You will keep them in perfect peace, those whose mind is stayed upon you.

I love that our home will be surrounded with the Word of God!
