Decorate with Meaningful Truth
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. -Deuteronomy 6:9
Just like the American Embassy waves the flag to declare safety and comfort within, we need signs and sounds and recipes and attitudes that declare the haven of our homes as an Embassy of the King. When the UPS man delivers, when neighbors stroll the streets, when guests are invited over, we want them to know that we aren’t just another family. We are a family who belongs to Yahweh, and are committed to using our home, lives, and resources to make Him known.
It’s our responsibility as believers to decorate with meaningful truth. Deuteronomy 6 instructs us to keep God’s words and commands ever before us: “You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Essentially, you need signage that tells other people Who your house belongs to.
As women we want our homes to be beautiful and warm places to nurture our families. But as believers we know we need more than simply beauty on our walls; we need meaningful truth displayed all around our homes. The versatile pieces created by Ever Thine Home, FamilyLife’s holiday and home collection, help you believe beautifully, even in the messy monotony of everyday home life.
Instead of an abstract art piece, hang a plaque that declares, “The Lord is my strength and my shield. In him my heart trusts and I am helped.”
Believing beautifully is not just for visitors. Displaying beautifully designed biblical truth is an important declaration to us too, as homeowners, as reminders of our true Home and kingdom.
Prop the Embassy sign on your entryway table, so that at the end of a tiring day, as a stranger in a foreign land, you can breathe a sigh of relief . You’re entering a place God intends to be a haven of safety and refuge, a place warmed and permeated by the presence of our true King.
You need visual pieces that shout to you and your guests: This is your heritage. Don’t forget. I’m your God; you’re my people.
