Psalm 132:3–5

A PLACE FOR THE LORD

Psalm 132:3-5. “Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the Mighty God of Jacob.”

A PLACE FOR THE LORD. He is beyond containment – limitless in His Being For God is a Spirit, not confined to my hearing or seeing Yet in grace to His family – those who are His by His choosing – He wants a place to dwell with His own!

Not a place limited by boards or stone, making a wall Not some far-off place of solitude separated from all Not an isolated location where He won’t answer a call – He wants a place to dwell with His own!

A place of sweet fellowship where all is shared in common A place where there is access, and He waits to be called upon A place where there is rejoicing, where He can hear our song – He wants a place to dwell with His own!

This place should be where there is sweetness and light A place where the Spirit of God brings forth new life A place where we can see – both in faith and by sight – He wants a place to dwell with His own!

I’ve found that place, where I can live with Him all day There is communion here when I hear Him and pray It is in this place I live, and here I want to stay – He wants a place to dwell with His own!

“Gracious Heavenly Father: I know I cannot separate my life into compartments when it comes to personal, family, business, social, or assembly life. They are all linked when I dwell with Thee, In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
