Scripture for every room of our home
We have finally started the process of rebuilding our new home (old home, taking walls down, all new electric and plumbing, etc) and we thought about writing scripture on the studs before we put new sheetrock up. We got this idea from some builder friends who are in our church group and loved the idea. We thought having scripture on the “bones” of the house would be an extra special way to bless the house and maybe provide some spiritual protection, so to speak.
There were some great lists online and we took all those and compiled our own list. We decided to make this part of our Sunday worship and had a memorable experience doing this as a family. I’m definitely taking these scriptures and putting some signs up in the rooms when the house is complete!
Here’s our list for scripture in every room:
