HE Lives In Us

Good Morning!! Where does God dwell? The verse below tells us that God had a place made, just so He could dwell with the people. But this place was no ordinary dwelling,...it was a holy place, a sanctuary where the people could enter into the very presence of God. This sanctuary was built to the finest detail, using the best of precious metals and stones. As the Israelites transported this mobile dwelling place throughout their travels in the desert, they never needed to upgrade, redecorate, or fix-up,...even after 40 years! The presence of the Lord kept all things restored, refreshed and renewed.

"Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them."—Exodus 25:8 (KJV)

It is hard to imagine how these people could have been anything but eternally grateful, and in awe of God's miraculous power in their lives. But, the Bible tells us that they were stiff-necked and complaining. And what about us? Are we satisfied for long with the things given to us by God? Even more so, what about the promise we have that His Holy Spirit lives within us? John 1:14 says that the Word became flesh and tabernacled (dwelt) among us. Jesus came to earth to dwell with us. He left us with His Holy Spirit who dwells within us today,... so we are now God’s dwelling place,...all those who have accepted Jesus as Savior.

Get your eyes off of earthly homes,...fix them upon Jesus, and our eternal home with Him.

Father God, we are so very thankful that You haven't gotten bored with Your new temples, or dwelling places, on earth. Your goodness and mercy endure for ever. Amen.
