[Music] [Music] before I read Psalm 91 I'd like to share a few things about the home our homes are more than just physical structures they're places of Refuge love and spiritual growth now I believe that we should be seeking God's presence and blessings within our households each and every day because of the following reasons seeking God's presence and blessing within our household will establish a foundation of faith in Psalm 127:1 we read unless the Lord builds the house the builders labor in vain our homes are built upon more than bricks and mortar they're built upon the foundation of Faith prayer invites God's presence into our homes establishing a solid foundation of faith that withstands the storms of life think of a skilled Builder who lays a firm foundation before building the actual house well prayer lays the groundwork for a home filled with God's presence and blessing providing stability and security for our families Point number two seeking God's presence and blessing within our households will cultivate a spirit of unity and love in Colossians 3:14-15 we are urged to put on love which binds everything together in Perfect Harmony and Let the Peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in one body and be thankful prayer Fosters a spirit of unity and love within our homes creating an atmosphere of peace and Harmony prayer cultivates an environment of love and unity within our homes where relationships Thrive and grow Point number three seeking God's presence and blessing within our households will bring protection and provision in Psalm 91:9 to11 we are assured because you have made the Lord your Dwelling Place the most high who is my refuge no evil shall be allowed to befall you no plague come near your tent for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways prayer invites God's protection and provision into our homes guarding us against spiritual attacks and providing for our needs a Shepherd protects his flock from predators prayer Shields our homes from spiritual harm and so our Good Shepherd Jesus Christ ensures that we are protected and taken care of in Joshua 24:15 Joshua declares but as for me in my house we will serve the Lord Prayer nurtures a legacy of Faith within our homes passing down the values and beliefs of Christianity from one generation to the next just as a torch Bearer passes the flame to the Next Generation prayer in the home prayer consistent prayer that is seen by children and even by a spouse it ignites a passion for God within our families

shadow of the Almighty I will say of the Lord he is my refuge and my Fortress my God in him I will trust surely he shall deliver You From The Snare of the Fowler and the perilous pestilence he shall cover you with his feathers and under his wings you shall take refuge his truth shall be your shield and buckler you you shall not be afraid of the terror by night nor of the arrow that flies by day nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness nor of the destruction that lays waste at Noonday a thousand may fall at your side and 10,000 at your right hand but it shall not come near you only with your eyes shall you look and see the reward of the wicked because you have made the Lord who is my refuge even the most high your Dwelling Place no evil shall befall you nor shall any plague come near your dwelling for he shall give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways in their hands they shall bear you up lest you dash your foot against the stone you shall tread upon the lion and the Cobra the Young Lion and the serpent you shall trample Under Foot because he has set his love upon me therefore I will deliver him I I will set him on high because he has known my name he
