We all live in houses of some kind — some live in shacks, some in mobile homes, others live in modest dwellings while still others occupy mansions. But whatever the nature of our residence, it is not our dwelling place; it is not the real one! Moses, who had been brought up in the palaces of the Pharaoh of Egypt, who also lived with Israel in tents in the wilderness, understood this great truth and prayed, “Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations” (Ps. 90:1) And again, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Ps. 91:1). What wonderful depth there is in the words of the apostle John, “No man hath seen God at any time…hereby know we that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He hath given us of His Spirit…God is love, and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God” (I Jn. 4:12-16). Yes, the Lord is the real habitation to us!
