MY SHEPHERD ---OFFERS A SECURE DWELLING PLACE!

"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord" (Psalm 23:6b)

That's SECURITY!

Dwelling in the house of the Lord is more than a secure place!

Abiding is the word that comes to my mind.....an all encompassing word that signifies the security that comes from dwelling with Him, my Shepherd, in a deep, ongoing relationship. That's not to diminish a physical presence at a church but to always include my/your mind and heart seeking His Presence and trusting Him in all of life! 

Result = True Security!

For me, that relationship is enhanced by starting each day (dwelling) with Him---and an open Bible on my lap with a cuppa securi-TEA alongside.

A security definition from the Psalms---

I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. (Psalm 16:8)

T= TABERNACLE

1/18/10 So many “T”-Words remind me of the Lord:
Trustworthy, the One in whom I can put my trust.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

True, the standard for truth is this One called Faithful and True.
Daily we are bombarded with words---but these words neither satisfy nor nourish because many of them are delivered by those who speak self-serving lies.
We should listen to the One who is Truth and cannot lie.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Tent/Tower of Strength,
3For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy. 4Let me dwell in Your tent forever; (Psalm 61:3-4)

Tabernacle, the “T” word that resonates most with me---it’s just another word for describing Christ as the dwelling place of God—sounds like a synonym for sanctuary to me. The biblical definition for both of those words “rings” loud and clear---His Presence, the place where we can meet face-to-face with Him, both now and throughout eternity.

Meditate on this "tabernacle" truth along with my Community Bible Study friends who are studying Revelation this year.

2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
4and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
5And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new " And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
(Revelation 21:2-5)
