VISITING?
Text: Psalm 23:6
By: Adeaga O. Favour
How often does God desire you to be with Him but all you do is to dash in and rush out? A lot of us have become so busy with earthly things that heavenly things are becoming less important to us, our busy schedules are gradually taking our focus off kingdom activities.
After all his ups and downs and his struggle to get things done, God encountered Jacob and told him "Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there," Gen 35:1. If only we know that many of the things we run after can cheaply be gotten in God's presence, we probably would have learned to dwell more with God.
Do you only visit Bethel or you dwell there? Ps 91:1 tells us only those who dwell in God's secret place will abide under His shadow. Learning to dwell in Bethel guarantees protection in time of trouble and divine lifting (Ps 27:4-6), among other things.
REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Are you a dweller or only a visitor in God's presence?
ACTION:
Review your daily activities and prayerfully ask God to help you dwell in His presence always.
