"Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you." (Psalm 84:4, NIV)
"He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. His heart is secure, he will have no fear; ..." (Psalm 112:7-8, NIV)
"The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”" (Psalm 92:12-15, NIV)
What a difference would be made if I just STAYED in the house of the Lord. That has got to be my goal in this life – dwelling in His house. If I am ever praising, then I am not complaining. If I am trusting and I not fearing! It doesn’t even occur to me to fear anything! I want to flourish and grow tall and strong and bear much fruit in my old age, staying fresh – that only comes when I dwell in His house! When my eyes are on Him, when His presence surrounds me, how can I help but be filled with hope, joy, love and confidence. He for sure dwells in me, the challenge is to dwell in Him. Oh the fruits of it! My soul longs for it.
Help me remove these pesky distractions, attitudes and mind-sets so I can dwell in your house.
