Who Do You Think I Am? - Our Dwelling Place


Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. - Psalm 90:1 

Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. - Psalm 91:9-10

Today's post is going to be a little out of the ordinary.  When I was searching for the next title of God in the book of Psalms, I came to Psalm 90:1 which refers to the Lord as our dwelling place.  Feeling that the term was too similar to refuge, shelter and habitation (all of which we've already covered), I was going to skip it.  However, in the very next chapter, I came across the reference to God as our habitation and felt that perhaps the Lord wanted me to cover this topic again.

As I thought about what the Lord would have me to say about "dwelling place" that would be different than what I've already said, a song came to mind.  I haven't heard the song in many years, so some of the words refused to come to memory, but those that I did remember were perfect for today's message.  So, instead of a devotion today, I give you a song that describes what it means to have God as our dwelling place.  I pray you enjoy it!

Feeling at Home 
by Bill and Gloria Gaither

Feeling at home in the presence of Jesus 
Hearing Him call me His own 
Feeling at home, Feeling at home 
Putting my feet right under His table 
Knowing I won't be alone 
Just feeling at home, Feeling at home 

You couldn't have told me I'd find what I found 
Contentment and peace from above 
Feeling at home in the presence of Jesus 
Laying way back in His love 
Warming myself by the fires of His spirit 
Standing right next to the throne 
Just feeling at home, Feeling at home 

Feeling at home in the presence of Jesus 
Feeling happy and free 
Feeling at home, Feeling at home 
Feeling accepted. loved and forgiven 
A part of His great family 
Just feeling at home, Just feeling at home 

You couldn't have told me I'd find what I found 
Contentment and peace from above 
Feeling at home in the presence of Jesus 
Laying way back in His love 
Warming myself by the fires of His spirit 
Standing right next to the throne 
Just feeling at home, Feeling at home
