He Moved In And Brought You Something

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

2 Samuel 6:11
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

 

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     

     Oh, how sweet are little babies. They gurgle, coo, and make such cute little faces and noises. However, along with the joy of babies come the responsibilities of feeding and changing them. You need to take them to the doctor when they are not feeling well and then give them their medicines. As they get a little older and begin to toddle around the house, you need to make sure the house is as safe as possible for one of such an age (if that is possible). These are all things that come automatically when you have children. You do not get a checklist of responsibilities to check off, of things you like or dislike. To raise a child in a safe and healthy environment, there are things you must do like it or not.

 

     Well, that is how it is with God. In the Old Testament, the Ark represented the place where God dwelt. In addition, where God dwelt, the blessings of God dwelt. That is unless you mishandled or took the ark somewhere it was not to be. If so, then the blessings of God that were with God were withheld. The good news is God is still the same today. When you got saved and God moved in, He brought you something. The Holy Spirit of God now dwells in the hearts of all believers and the blessings of God still dwell where God dwells. That is unless you mishandle the Word of God in your life and walk contrary to His will. Then He may withhold the blessings temporarily. Even so, the blessings of God are still with God and are still available to every believer today. You have every opportunity to receive the blessings of God when He comes into your life to stay.

 

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

 

     Today, if you know Jesus as Lord and Saviour, your body is the dwelling place of God the Holy Spirit. You are the host of the Most High God. As His host, how will you treat this royal resident today? Remember, His blessings are available each and every day because He lives in you, and He brought you something.

 

As His host, how will you treat this royal resident today?

 

IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:

Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this Passage and today’s Devotion?

 

Do I find within this reading a CHALLENGE for my life?

 

What are one or two things I WILL DO today or this week to accept that CHALLENGE?
