His Dwelling Place

Scripture Psalm 132:3-5 “Surely I will not enter my house, nor lie on my bed; I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord,  a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.

Observation

King David, a man after God's own heart; he will do everything I want him to do. (Acts 13:22)  David would not even go home, rest, or sleep, until he found a place for the Lord - a dwelling place for God.  He makes a vow, a promise to find a place for the Lord.  A physical dwelling place.

Application

Totally yield to God, give to Him my whole heart, my mind, my spirit, my body, my strength.  Surely I will not rest or sleep until I invite the Lord to come and dwell with me.

Prayer

Father, I first opened my heart to You in February 1970.   A long time ago.  Yet, I sense a stirring in me that You desire to go deeper still.  Come Lord Jesus - this temporary 'tent' is Yours - every bit of it.  Search my heart, make me clean, it's Your approval I long for.  Rule my life, be my King, do what You will I belong to You,  in Jesus Name, A-men.  

1 Corinthians 3:16  Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
