Best Biblical Verses to Write In Your Home During Construction

I always like to start with something personal, so please bear it with me!

I must say I’m blessed to have been born into a Christian home and raised up by Christian parents. They led me to Christ when I was really young and since then they have encouraged me in my faith. But, now that I think about it, during my growing years with Christ, even my house played an important role. In fact, I’d like to share a small story of how our house – constructed merely with materials like brick and stone – was built with faith in God.

To begin with, I’d like to say that not all private house builders are corrupt, but there are many in this profession who are ready to use any ploys to make more profit. I’m telling this from a past experience. Back then, my parents hired a builder who smiled sweetly and quietly lied to our faces. He was the worst nightmare. He refused our ideas and covered up his mistakes (the list of defects was a very long one). At one point, he finished only 30 % of the construction work when we gave him more than 70 % of the money.

Building a home became a reality for us – a horrible reality – but we didn’t give up. Through prayers and fasts, we trusted the house’s project into God’s hands. Finally, one day, my mother got a revelation. And, if you are going through that any difficulties while your home is still in the construction phase, I’m going to ask you to do the same thing God told my mother to.

I’m sure you’ve heard of people writing their names, names of celebrities, swear words or famous quotes on the walls during construction. I want you to take this action further and write Biblical scriptures on the walls and frames of your house.

The Living Space

The Living SpaceEven if you have a vague idea of where your living room is going to be, try to write all the following scriptures on the walls nearby.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

– From Corinthians 13:4-7

“My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.”

“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.”

– From 2 Corinthians 12:10-11
