When I tried to figure it out,
all I got was a splitting headache . . .
Until I entered the sanctuary of God.
Then I saw the whole picture
I'm in the very presence of God—
oh, how refreshing it is!
I've made Lord God my home.
Psalm 73

Psalm 73
Sometimes life does not make sense.
Things go completely opposite to what we expect.
Sometimes God even does things we do not expect.
Things we just cannot understand on our own.
That is why, as Psalm 73 shows, it is important to be in Gods presence.
When we are in HIS presence God is able to reveal his plan to us
and make sense of things that are humanly confusing,
because Gods presence is spiritual and holy!
Furthermore, since we live in a world where things that we dont understand
occur constantly,
we should make Gods presence our 'home'!
A home is a place where we spend a lot of time and often leave.
Even though we leave our home, we always return.
A home is a place where we can rest and get 'refreshed'.
It is a place where we can think clearly and collect ourselves.
It is safe.
It is familiar.
God wants to be our home.
He wants HIS presence to be somewhere safe and familiar,
somewhere we can always return to and spend a lot of time and
think clearly, get answers,
rest
and be refreshed.
And if we want to survive in the world we live in
it would be wise to take God up on HIS offer!
with faith...
That promise of resting in him pulls us on to God's goal for us, we need to be careful that we're not disqualified. We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn't do them a bit of good because they didn't receive the promises with faith.
Hebrews 4
God has promised us a home. It is a spiritual home.
Just like we need to have FAITH to believe in Gods existence,
because he cannot be seen by our physical eyes,
we need to have FAITH to trust
in this home God is offering to us.
As Hebrews 4 tells us
If we don't take this promise with FAITH
then we may be 'disqualified'
or we may miss out
on Gods
complete
presence!
Bottom Line: This world is crazy. God is offering himself as a refuge. Take advantage of it with FAITH!
