Being With God In The Place Where He Is

Sunday June 13, 2021

Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you. Blessed are those whose strength comes from you. They have firmly decided to travel to your temple. As they pass through the dry Valley of Baka, they make it a place where water flows. The rain in the fall covers it with pools. Those people get stronger as they go along, until each of them appears in Zion, where God lives. (Psalm 84:4-7 NIRV)

For many reasons some of us are unable to go to church buildings where people gather to sing praises to God and to be taught from the Bible. The truth is, if we are praising God in the place where we are and reading His word, God is with us in that place. The Bible tells us that God looks over the whole earth – and that includes the place where we are today – and He will give strength to those who are wholeheartedly committed to Him.

For the eyes of the Lord run to and for throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9a NKJV)

Have we made a firm decision to follow the ways of God in our life in recovery? If so, God is with us wherever we are. When we practice God’s principles in all our affairs, even in places that are dry to the word of God, we can be the ones who bring the peace of God that flows like a refreshing stream in that place. As we witness about the love of Jesus, the Power of God will flow, and the neighbourhood will be filled with more and more people who are praising God for releasing them from the bondage of sin. When we move on, that place will continue to be blessed by God and the fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control – will be evident among that community.

The longer we continue our journey with God, the more fruitful our lives will be. Our faith in God will grow stronger until that time when we will go to dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Please strengthen and uphold me to be a fountain of living water spreading the fruit of Your Spirit wherever I go. Help me to practice Your principles in all my words and deeds. I ask for Your help to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Amen
