Make your home a fortress

If you have the blessing of living with other Christians this suggestion may be easier for you than if you don't.

I want to suggest that you make your home, perhaps just your room if you live with family, a place of physical sanctuary for yourself. Fill you home with things that will encourage you, bless you, inspire you.

Some friends of mine have some valuable scriptures written and framed in their hallway as a reminder of blessing. I know of others who post scripture in other places, who leave a bible in every room. Get yourself a prayer wall and post your requests. Keep pictures of people you are praying for etc.

Personally, I always have things that encourage me around me. For example, I have a flag in my living room...it reminds me of my calling, covenant and my Faithful Saviour. Plus...I always keep a bible in the bathroom!

Pursue God at home...make it your determination that 'as for me and my house, we will praise the Lord' so far as you are able.
