February 5, 2011 God Lives With You

God Dwells with You
Read Exodus 24-26

Ex 25:8 Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.

PROMISES—the bible is full of God’s promises. Other names for promises are covenants and testaments. God promises much to his people in the desert. Those promises are part of his plan to give you the promise of salvation today and forever.
Do you see the promise here? God says he will dwell among them. Do you grasp the wonder of the promise? God dwells among his people. Pause, my friend, and consider this. (Are you pausing and considering?)
The God, who has created the vast and impenetrable universe, promises to dwell among his people!
Conditions come with this promise. In the desert, the Hebrews must do certain things and prepare a special place for God made exactly as God instructs them. They respond, and God comes.
Then Jesus, the Son of God, came to dwell among us and show God’s love. Jesus instructs his people in the truth. And today, Jesus has sent the Holy Spirit to come and dwell within you as you trust Jesus as your Savior.
Do you see God’s plan and progression? The Father comes. The Son comes. The Spirit comes. And it is all for one purpose: Your Salvation!
Prepare your heart to welcome the Spirit to dwell inside you. Spend time each day in the bible. Know the truth to pray and listen with your heart for the Spirit to teach you. Dwelling within you, the Spirit will guard your heart and guide your house.


Pause and Consider: it is easy to trust your God when you invite him to dwell with you.
