24 Bible Verses To Write When Building A House
Use these 24 Bible verses to write when you’re building a house to add sweet Scripture to the foundation of your new home.
Building a new house from the ground up is a big milestone for many families and individuals. It is often a vigorous process that takes many months, and can involve setbacks, small victories and patiently watching it all come together into a place you will soon call home.
Even in the process of house building, we can learn and be encouraged by Scripture. One of the common examples used in Scripture when referring to building a house is the foundation that it is laid on.
The Bible especially loves to paint the picture of what it looks like to have your faith built on a firm foundation versus a wonky, unreliable and unpredicted foundation. Simply watching a house being built can teach us so much about the importance of a firm foundation.
When your foundation is set and steady, your house is able to resist fierce winds and weather. But when our home, just like our faith, is built on straw, or on things apart from Christ, we are in for a big fall. A strong and well-designed foundation holds the house together through disastrous seasons.
For many families, couples or individuals, building a home is a lifelong dream of theirs. Congratulations on your house building! As you start this process, you can lay a precious foundation that reaches beyond the physical building.
One of the ways you can do that is by writing Scriptures on the walls or frames of the house during renovations.
This can be a special project that you can do by yourself or with your loved ones as a way to cover your home, in God’s words. These scriptures can relate to the foundation of your home, blessing over your marriage or the way you will raise your children, and for those who you will be hosting in your home.
These are only a few ideas, but you can make this process personal by adding some of your favorite verses to the mix as well. Though you may not see the scriptures once your home is finished, you can carry the reminder that you are surrounded by God’s truth over you and your home, and all who will come through the door.
