Describe Your Home…..

If I were to ask you to describe your home, you’d probably say, “It’s a light tan color, 3 bedrooms....”. I mean describe your HOME. It’s a place of rest, security, comfort, and relaxation. It’s a place where we play, grow closer to our loved ones, and have fun. You probably would say it is a place of completeness. A place of great memories, and love. Now with that concept in mind, to the Jew this is what God is to them. You always read of David referring to God as his place of refuge. Well, this is the way it’s supposed to be. If we are just passing through, or as Paul says “just a temporary stay” (my paraphrase), then God should be our home. He is a place we go for comfort in times of turmoil. He’s a place of security in an insecure world. He’s where we get our significance from (being chosen by Him). He is life. The next time you think about home, instead of thinking about colors and square footage, think of all that your home means to you. Then give thanks to God for giving you more than just a material structure. You have some much more than that. He’s waiting for you to make Him your real HOME.

1 Lord, through all the generations You have been our home! 2 Before the mountains were born, before You gave birth to the earth and the world, from beginning to end, You are God. Psalms 90:1-2
