Our homes are where the majority of us spend most of our time. It is where we raise our little ones, where our husbands come home from their work, and where we decide what type of atmosphere we will establish.
Like everything else in life we can decide to establish one of two atmospheres in our homes. We can bring in confusion, stress, and strife. Or we can welcome peace, kindness, and righteousness.
Which do you think is from the Lord?
1 Corinthians 14:33 says, “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” Our God does not want His people to be in confusion. He doesn’t want us to live in stress, strife, depression, or darkness. He wants us to live in the light.
So as the homemakers and gatekeepers of our homes what can we do to establish a peaceful atmosphere?
There are some physical and spiritual things that we can do bring in an atmosphere of peace into our homes. And it doesn’t matter what season of life you’re in to do these things. You can be a full time working wife or a mother to five kids. All of these things will be easy for you to do.
How can you establish a physical peaceful atmosphere in your home?
One of the best things you can do is to get rid of clutter. Remove anything that you honestly are just not using. Let go of things you’ve been saving forever that never get used. And just simplify your life. This will also help you and your family mentally.
Another thing I like to do is use essential oils to set a peaceful atmosphere in our home. I will diffuse peaceful, calming scents. And I love to make linen and room sprays with oils as well.
Keeping your home tidy can make a peaceful atmosphere continue in your home. Doing this daily helps so much. And when you reduce the clutter in your home it makes this even more simple.
Setting the tone through music is another great way to keep your home peaceful. There is beautiful instrumental worship and Scripture songs that you can play throughout your day.
How can you establish a spiritual peaceful atmosphere in your home?
Practice walking in the Spirit. If we, the gatekeepers in our homes, are seeking righteousness and desiring to live by the Lord’s ways the fruit of our labor will be seen and felt. It starts with us.
Pray over your home. Welcome the Father’s presence and allow His Spirit to thrive in your home by regularly prayer walking your house. Anoint your home and pray Scripture over your home and family.
Teach your children the Lord’s ways. If we are raising our next generation in God’s commands our childrearing years will be filled with peace. Even through the disciple and instruction we can still have peace if we are walking by the Way.
Establishing a peaceful atmosphere in our homes is not difficult.
If we are walking in the Lord’s ways and seeking righteousness then peace in our homes will be a byproduct of our work.
