Day 197 The Uninhabitable Home by Tiffiany Langston
📌 Bible Study & Devotional Day 197
Read Today’s Passages (July 16, 2022)
Guiding Scripture: Proverbs 19:13-14, A foolish child is a father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like the constant dripping of a leaky roof. 14 Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.
🔴 The Uninhabitable Home
Contributing Writer: Tiffiany Langston
This world may not be our home, but our homes here on this side of heaven can be a place of refuge. I know because I now live in a home-like this, but I didn't grow up in one like it. Inconsistency, chaos, and misery filled my childhood home. I had no safe haven from the ways of the world around me, which caused me to desire to be anywhere but there.
It was uninhabitable.
Not materialistically or from what could be seen with the physical eye, but from what went unseen - the emotional, spiritual, and mental neglect.
Of course, in those years, I didn't understand what was wrong or why it felt so off, but now as an adult, I get it. My childhood innocence was stolen from me. My soul knew that was not how it was supposed to be. That home should have been a place of solstice where you could be yourself - shelter from a harsh, critical, and unkind world. But instead, it confirmed the lies I had heard, and for a long time, I sought to do whatever it took to escape the pain of a tragic beginning.
We are failing to be obedient to God's commands.
