2 Samuel 7:29 …for you Sovereign Lord, have spoken and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed forever.
I’m selling a dolls house at the moment as we’d like someone to be able to enjoy playing with it at Christmas time. When I look at it, it makes me think about the houses where we all live because scripture talks quite a lot about them.Joshua 24:15 As for me and my house we shall serve the Lord. Me and my house, you and your house. We all have to decide where our allegiance lies. Joshua wisely said as far as his household was concerned their allegiance lay with giving God first place. May we be able to say that too.😊
Proverbs 3:33 ….but He blesses the home of the righteous. Solomon was a very blessed man and testified to God not only blessing His home mightily but says He will do the same for any righteous person (that’s us because God says He has made us righteous in Jesus hallelujah!)
Exodus 12:23 …and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you. We have the blood of Jesus protecting us and I like to remind myself and the enemy, and pray the protection of the blood of Jesus over the outer doors of my house.
Psalm 127:1 Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labour in vain. Proverbs 24:3-4 A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense; Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.
I wonder what we’re building into our house. Is it joy and peace and love? He’s saying if you’re going to build something, and in his case it’s a house, but even other things, don’t do it in your own strength but do it with the Lord’s help, with His insight and wisdom. Whether you’re building a business, or building up children, or building a career, or church ministry, whatever you are ‘building’ ask the Lord to build it for you.
Be encouraged, whatever house we live in, wherever we are in the world, as we give God first place His blessing will flow in and on our home, and on our family too.😊 Thank You Lord.
