Today's scripture: Psalm 27:4-5
On Friday, we talked about why we don't have to fear. I ended the devotional by
saying that even if man takes my life, I still don't need to fear because I'd
be in the arms of my Savior.
Today, the psalmist echoes a longing in my heart: to "dwell in the house
of the Lord ..." In context, he's writing about dwelling with Lord in
spirit while still on earth. But I imagine he's also thinking about dwelling
with the Lord for eternity.
That's what resonates with me.
I think that people who suffer from chronic health issues may imagine being
with Jesus even more than those who don't. Because I long to be pain-free (and
it doesn't seem like God's plan includes my being pain-free on earth), I so
look forward to heaven where one day there will be no more pain (Revelation 21:4).
I can hardly wait for the time when I can "behold the beauty of the Lord." I eagerly anticipate seeing
His face, being in His presence.
And, "I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever" (Psalm 23:6).
Amen!
