Last fall I attended my church Bible study and we studied Gideon by Priscilla Shirer. Wow- it was a fabulous study and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Have you ever been involved in a study where you knew it was exactly what God had for you at that time? Mmmhmm. I thought you might have. Well, that’s how Gideon was for me.
One of the particular topics Priscilla discussed had already been resonating with me for some time- getting God’s Word on the walls of your home. And she didn’t spend a ton of time on it, but she did bring up the importance of hanging Scripture in your home. I don’t recall her mentioning this particular Scripture, but the following passage is one through which I felt the Lord speaking to me. I love the way the Message version paraphrases Deut. 6:6-9:
Write these commandments that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder; inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates.
The Lord was telling his forgetful people how to remember His promises. As mama to 7, I can just tell you that sometimes I forget things. And I have to write them down to make sure I don’t forget- because there is just too much that happens in a single day or over a period of time. If you have a visible, tangible reminder of God’s promises right in front of you, then you can more easily remember God’s promises! I know- huge revelation, right?
But seriously, I felt the Lord impressing on my heart that I needed to get more Scripture up on the walls of our house. To grace your home with God’s Word is important!
So during the same week I’m contemplating Priscilla’s recommendation and meditating on the passage from Deuteronomy, I was privileged to meet a new company, Wise Decor. Wise Decor is decorative wall lettering to personalize your world. I can hardly wait to show you what happened as a result of bumping into this fabulous company. Here it is:
My hubby placed the wall decal in our family room last Thursday night. I’m sorry that the photo is a little dark, but the decal looks absolutely wonderful! This particular decal is large and to get it properly applied, it took three of us to follow the instructions. I am so pleased at how it turned out that I’m contemplating several more wall decals, especially with Scripture, for our home.
Like this one for the bedroom:
Or this one for the kids is a beautiful Scripture reminder:
I really love all the many Scripture verses you can purchase. If you’ve watched my video testimony on YouTube, then you know that this particular verse holds special meaning to me:

I have a bracelet w the “Be still and know…” Verse! Love it also! If I win, I would like to order something for my kids rooms. As they are becoming teens, a good reminder hanging in their room of Gods presence is awesome! 🙂
I would love to hang up decoratve scripture verses! The many verses hanging up now are written on 3 x 5 index cards and taped up all over the house, especially to the bathroom window…lol! The decals pictured look so much more spiritually inspiring. Thanks Rachel!
Forgot to tell you I would choose the “Be still and know that I am God.” That is my phrase for 2014!
Joshua 24:15 As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord.
Would use it to add scripture to this odd section of hallway wall that can be seen from both livingroom and kitchen.
I would choose the Fruit of the Spirit – Galatians 5:22-23 Decal. It has become on of my favorite verses.
I LOVE the family rules but I have been looking for something for our bedroom. Be Still and Know I’m God is amazing!
What a GREAT website! I really love “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:19 ” I had BELIEVE stenciled in my downstairs bathroom not only as a reminder for my family, but for all my guests who happened to use our bathroom 🙂 I too have a lot of Scripture/Inspiring Words hanging throughout our home, but no longer have it stenciled since we moved. Would LOVE to win this!
What an awesome idea! I have scripture I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

This was the subject of the message Sunday. Tks for sharing .
I think they are all pretty. I like the House Rules wall hanging a lot thx
Psalm 105:4 – Love this verse and so beautiful on my wall!
I love wall decals, but have never found just the right one before – these just might be it. I have a cross stitch I did of chairs on the beach for “Be Still” that hangs in my guest/craft room.
love that you did cross stitch of Scripture!!
I just moved into a new apartment and have been thinking about putting sayings on the walls. I hadn’t considered scripture though. Thanks for the great idea!
I would love the Phillipians 4:8 sticker.
Oh, goodness, I am thinking I would choose the “Be Still and know that I am God” from Psalms. However, I truly like the one with all the scriptures written in chart form. It would be a hard decision….maybe I will need more than one!
WOW! They’re ALL so pretty and what a wonderful thing to display on your wall. 🙂
I love having scripture on my walls and these look amazing!
As a new Christian, I’ve been longing to hang Scriptures on my walls. As a single mother, my budget is extremely tight so I’ve been waiting on the Lord to send me some. In the meantime, I have printed out verses in a nice font and put a frame around (which I already had).
love that! I’ve got some DIY ideas coming soon for this topic too! 🙂
I love them all. I’d choose joyful noise I think. Plus a great reminder with a houseful of kiddos 😉
We recently had our living room and dining room walls repainted, and they are bare. I haven’t even hung up any pictures yet! I would choose 1 Thess. 5:16-18 for our living room. Thanks for the giveaway!
I want the house rules one that you got. That is absolutely our house rules and I love that they have Scripture addresses to go with them! If I don’t win this, I may have to write up that list myself…
I love the house rules 2. It would be an awesome reminder!
I would pick Exodus 14:14 – The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still. This has been my verse in this season of life 🙂
That’s a wonderful verse too!! LOVE IT!
I would love these for my walls.
Thanks Rachel for this fun giveaway. I love the idea of putting scripture around the house.
I Love these! I have several thru out my house along with other saying in frames and inspirations words! I want my home to be filled with love and encouragement!! And p.s. yours is beautiful!!!! ❤
Would live to have more scripture to hang. Thanks for the chance
Love the wall appliques! Gorgeous! 😀
I would choose Phil 4:8 for my living room wall. Unfortunately the previous owners thought stucco was were the way to go in the rest of the house so the living room.is pretty much the only place a decal would work.
I love them all! I think for now the one I’d pick would be the house rules. I seem to be reminding my kids of these rules on a daily basis! If it was posted in our home where we could read every day I know it would help us all.
That was why I went with that one first too! 🙂
There are so many to choose from but I think it would have to be either Matt 6:21, Rom 12:2, or Psalm 119:11
Have the perfect spot for this. Been looking for something like this to go there too.
Our youngest daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia last week. We know this is part of Gods plan for her and that He will enable her to overcome and use this for His glory. We also know she has a lot of hard work ahead as she begins new programs and tutoring. I would choose “I can do ALL things through Christ who gives me strength.”
Rachel! Awesome wall decor! Thank you for sharing this great find.
I like the As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
I forgot to say which decal … Proverbs 3:5 Trust in The Lord …
Would love to win this…so many good sayings and Bible passages!
This is so wonderful!! I’m always looking for plaques, prints, and other items for the walls of our home that feature scripture. We even have a key minder that features knock, seek, ask….
Thank you for this opportunity to win! Heart Hugs, Shelly <3
They are all so great I think I would need a couple at least! I love the one you posted about I have found THE ONE true love, and the rules of this house would also make my top 10 list! Thank you for sharing this great site!
Oops, forgot to say which verse – probably Psalm 66:1 because I pray in the church’s praise band.
I would have to choose:
But take heart! For I have overcome the world. – John 16:33
and
Make a joyful noise to the Lord. – Psalm 100:1
I love this idea and knowing that we can honor God by putting His word on the walls of our houses. There are so many verses that I love that choosing just one would be hard. Thanks for this giveaway and the reminder that God is everywhere and we can shine His light even in our houses!!!
I would love to put some of these on my walls! And I have the perfect spot for one for my daughter’s room!
We walk by faith, not by sight. – 2 Cor 5:7
I love the house rules with the scripture and love the name and verse, beautiful!!
So many, but I’ll go with Philippians 4:8. Awesome giveaway. Thanks, Rachel.
Psalm 139:14 is our Kids Ministry scripture that both my daughters are part of, so that would be awesome for us.
I love that wall decal – beautiful!
I would love to add scripture to our walls!
Oh my these are beautiful, thanks for the chance!
I too have wanted to put Scripture on our walls. I want the encouragement for our family and for others who come into our home and to bring honor to our Lord.
Love Scripture on my walls!! You have a fee that I’d Love to have. Thanks for the opportunity. GOD BLESS!!
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. – Psalm 52:8
Thank you, Rachel & Wise Decor! (Love your writings, R! -sd)
I love these.
I love wall art like this, and I especially love the idea of scripture wall art. My youngest daughter is getting baptized in 2 weeks, and I think this would make a perfect addition to her bedroom.
Love these!! I would love to use more Scripture to decorate our home. Thanks for the chance to win!
Oops, forgot to add which one I would pick–probably the marriage one pictured above . . . “I have found the one my soul loves.” I would love to use that in our bedroom! But I love some of the other choices as well!
I like the one quoting Philippians 4:19. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I really like the one with the verse from Song of Solomon 3:4, but there are several more that I like as well! =]
We love these decals… What a fun giveaway!
