How can I experience God’s blessing on my home?
Proverbs 3:33The Lord curses the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the upright.
Ezekiel 44:30The first of the ripe fruits and all the gifts brought to the Lord will go to the priests. The first batch of dough must also be given to the priests so the Lord will bless your homes.
1 Timothy 5:4If she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God.
When we invite the Lord into our homes with love, kindness, and generosity, he pours out his blessings on our homes.
Psalm 127:1-2Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.
God desires to play an active role in our homes. He offers to be not only the architect of our homes but also the builder.
Proverbs 3:33The Lord curses the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the upright.
Proverbs 12:7The wicked die and disappear, but the family of the godly stands firm.
Proverbs 14:11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the godly will flourish.
Proverbs 15:6There is treasure in the house of the godly, but the earnings of the wicked bring trouble.
God’s blessings are promised for those who strive to be righteous.
Ezekiel 44:30The first of the ripe fruits and all the gifts brought to the Lord will go to the priests. The first batch of dough must also be given to the priests so the Lord will bless your homes.
Matthew 25:40“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”
1 Timothy 5:4, 8If she has children or grandchildren, their first responsibility is to show godliness at home and repay their parents by taking care of them. This is something that pleases God. . . . But those who won’t care for their relatives, especially those in their own household, have denied the true faith. Such people are worse than unbelievers.
Hebrews 13:2Don’t forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it!
God blesses our stewardship as we give him our first and best. One way we can give back to God through our homes is by caring for those in need—both loved ones and strangers. Providing kindness, hospitality, and provision for others is offering them to God himself.
Genesis 30:27-30“Please listen to me,” Laban replied. “I have become wealthy, for the Lord has blessed me because of you. Tell me how much I owe you. Whatever it is, I’ll pay it.” Jacob replied, “You know how hard I’ve worked for you, and how your flocks and herds have grown under my care. You had little indeed before I came, but your wealth has increased enormously. The Lord has blessed you through everything I’ve done. But now, what about me? When can I start providing for my own family?”
Genesis 39:4-5This pleased Potiphar, so he soon made Joseph his personal attendant. He put him in charge of his entire household and everything he owned. From the day Joseph was put in charge of his master’s household and property, the Lord began to bless Potiphar’s household for Joseph’s sake. All his household affairs ran smoothly, and his crops and livestock flourished.
2 Samuel 6:12Then King David was told, “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom’s household and everything he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went there and brought the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David with a great celebration.
1 Chronicles 13:14The Ark of God remained there in Obed-edom’s house for three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and everything he owned.
God’s blessing comes to a home where he is present. This means putting nothing ahead of him, internalizing and living out his values, and submitting to his leadership.
