Psalm 91:9-10 (NIV)
If you make the Most High your dwelling–
even the Lord, who is my refuge–
then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent." NIV

no disaster will come near your tent." NIV
WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL SAFE?
DOOR LOCKS? GOOD NEIGHBORS? BEST FRIENDS?
GOD HAS PROMISED TO KEEP YOU SAFE... TO KEEP DISASTER FAR FROM YOU. IN ORDER TO SEE THIS PROMISE FULFILLED IN YOUR LIFE, GOD SAYS TO MAKE HIM YOUR DWELLING PLACE. SAFETY IS FOUND IN A PERSON, NOT A PLACE. IT IS FOUND IN THE PERSON OF JESUS. PSALM 91 URGES US TO "MAKE GOD OUR DWELLING PLACE." THIS IS AN ACTIVE PROCESS. THIS INVOLVES CALLING OUT TO GOD, SURROUNDING OURSELVES WITH HIS WORDS, REMEMBERING HIS NEARNESS, AND WORSHIPPING HIM WITH GREAT PASSION. AS WE DO THESE THINGS, WE WILL BE SURROUNDING OURSELVES WITH GOD... MAKING HIM OUR DWELLING PLACE.
