Psalm 27:1-5

THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
…that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life…. Psalm 27:4, NIV

A believer who has experienced the reality of the presence of the Lord would always desire to remain there. Wherever God resides is His presence and His house. It may be in our lives, homes, or churches.

Today’s text reveals some of the benefits that those who dwell in the house of the Lord enjoy, namely - salvation, safety, preservation, provision, victory over enemies, direction, lifting, promotion, lasting joy, peace, and all the beauties of God. The truth is, you cannot be a consistent dweller of God’s house and your life will not be better for it.

Beloved, it is a beautiful thing to dwell in the house of the Lord. Are you a student, worker, business person or preacher? Then you have to carry His presence to succeed. Those who do not carry His presence either fail or are courting failure. What is your desire? What are you seeking after? Success, clothes, fame, money, cars and what have you? All these cannot satisfy your soul.

Be wise! You only need one thing in life and that is His presence. You are enjoined today to shun everything that could shut you out of His presence.

• Birthday Blessing: The ransomed of the LORD will return… with…gladness and joy… Isaiah 51:11
