Scripture: Psalm 91: 1-3
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a] 2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” 3 Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
Scripture Commentary: God invites all to dwell in His house.
Before we can dwell in God’s house, we must first accept Him as our Lord and Savior. If we don’t, we can’t know where He lives and we can’t know His house. This is a problem for non-believers. They live outside of God and are lost in their earthly possessions.
There’s a sign at God’s door to welcome all. We are invited to bring the sick, the hungry, the lame, the lost. All are welcome. But in our busy-ness we walk by and never look at the sign.
We run from God while He runs after us.
Think about your life. Consider your disobedience. We have abandoned God but He never abandones us. God is our shelter, our refuge, our entire life. He protects us even when we don’t ask and loves us even when we don’t love Him back.
He keeps us safe. Let us stop wasting the time we have left. Our life on earth is short; we must spend the life we have left spreading God’s Gospel.
Moses reminds us that a thousand years are like a day to God. God is not limited by time. We are. God is eternal; we can depend on Him. Because our days are numbered, we want to use as many of them as we can working for God. One day we will stand before God and He will ask what have we done in His name?
