DEUTERONOMY 33:27
The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
YOU WERE CREATED TO LIVE as an eternal being with your Father in heaven. This world is a temporary place to live. It's a neighborhood you won't be in forever. Your home is in God He is your lasting dwelling place.
A man once told me about living in a dangerous, rundown neighborhood on the mission field. It was a harsh environment, even dangerous at times. "My home is like an oasis there," he said. "When I go inside to my loving wife and family, I feel love and at rest."
That's a picture of what it mean to know God as your dwelling place. The world outside my be hostile, even threatening at times. We may face opposition and hostility from those who angered at the contrast our God and theirs. People do not like to have their idols dethroned! Yet as we uphold Christ, others will see a difference and be drawn to Him and the life that He offers. But as you recognize that your life in Him, you can find peace, love, and security.
You stand in secure place with your God as your dwelling place. His everlasting arms will hold you protect you, and hug you in every situation. Face each day with confidence that your God holds you in His arms. Live boldly with the knowledge that you cannot be conquer by the world around you, because you belong Him.
