At Home In Us

Good Morning!! The scripture tells us we are the temples of the Holy Spirit. That means when Christ died for all people at Calvary, He left the Holy Spirit to comfort us in dark times and convict us of sin. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would never leave or depart. It makes me really consider what I must do to the Holy God, or as the originally language actually translates "tabernacling", in me when I sin, quench, and grieve the Holy Spirit. "Quenching the Spirit" means to say "no" to His presence or leadership in our lives. And grieving the Holy Spirit means to give over to sin, refuse to repent or experience true forgiveness," or so writes Beth Moore in Living Beyond Yourself.
"Heaven is My throne, and the earth is My footstool. Where is the house you will build for Me? Where will My resting place be?—Isaiah 66:1 (NIV)

In Isaiah 66:1, God asks where He can reside or where He can tabernacle. In verse 2a, we find that He longs to dwell in the place that is humble, contrite in spirit and with one that trembles at the Word. He longs to be in the skin of the one that is constantly seeking righteousness and forgiveness,...one that is looking to bring Him glory. The tests may be rough; the blessings may be ample but is He comfortable in our skin?

Remember; when things come into our lives, things that are easy, hard, frustrating, exciting or even fun,...we have a responsibility in our actions, and reactions.

Father God, we know and realize that You are living and working inside of us. Our bodies, hearts and minds is where You dwell. Please help us to make You comfortable there. Help us to do the things that honor and glorify You in our lives. We love You Father; may our actions start to show it! Amen.

" Is it possible that the greatest threat America faces may be God Himself, as He withholds His mercy,...and exercise His righteous judgment?"
