Where's your dwelling place
By Ringer in Knowledge is power- if you use it- keep it to yourself and it's worthless.

The comfort or discomfort of our outward lives depends largely upon the dwelling place of our bodies than almost any other material thing; and the comfort or discomfort of our inward life depends upon the dwelling place of our soul.

Our dwelling place is the place where we live; and not the place we merely visit. It is our home. All the interests of our earthly lives are bound up in our home; and we do all we can to make them attractive and comfortable. But our souls need a comfortable dwelling place as well. And, inward comfort is far greater importance then outward; where the soul is full of peace and joy, outward surroundings are comparatively of little account.

It's kinda like moving into a new house. We not only move in ourselves but we take with us all our belongings of every sort or description. No one would be so foolish as to leave anything he cared for or anyone he loved outside. But I'm afraid there are some, who move into a dwelling place without God. Perhaps their lack of faith makes them leave outside those they love the most.

But, it's of vital importance that we find out where our souls our living. The truth is our souls are made of God. Love is our natural home and we can never be at rest anywhere else. You must meet all assaults of doubt and discouragements in your life with the simple assertion that you are there, and that you know you will not be confounded. No one who has ever trusted in God found themselves confounded! Let other people do as they may, but you must declare that you, at all cost, are going to abide in a divine dwelling place.

Today: Choose to move into a dwelling place of God and take with you all your possessions, and above all, those you love. You will begin to see things through a new vision. You will see trials as blessings and enemies as disguised friends. You will be calm and at rest in the face of fear and all fret and worries of life, untouched by them.
