Hi All

The bible and in particular the psalms tells us how God is our “dwelling place” in Psalm 90 which is a prayer of Moses he says in verse 1 “Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations”. The phrase "God our dwelling place" refers to the concept that God is a source of security, refuge, and a place of belonging for believers, both in this life and the next. Moses' words depicts God as a constant, lasting and enduring presence that stands the test of time. Our God has been and continues to be the ultimate source of shelter and protection for all believers. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble”(Psalm 46:1). Knowing God is on our side makes it so much easier to endure whatever comes our way.

Be Blessed and Encouraged

Our Dwelling Place

"How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God."

(Psalm 84:1-2)

How many times when we go through trials,do we tend to immediately speak to family members or friends and seek their advice, when all we really have to do is seek The Lord who is our safe “dwelling place”. “When we run to God” in difficult times it proves to Him that we trust Him to protect and shield us in every situation as we are told in the psalms if we trust Him He will help us “The LORD is my strength and my shield, in him my heart trusts, and I am helped”(Psalm 28:7). Next time a trial however big or small comes along, run to God and rest in His “lovely dwelling place” because whatever worry we have if it matters to us it matters to God and He wants to help,we only have to ask and His ways are always greater than ours and He will never let us down.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

(Proverbs 3:5-6)
