A Home for Your Heart

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

    will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91:1 

Many years ago, I was blessed to read, My Heart―Christ's Home by Robert Boyd Munger. God used this little book (32 pages) to draw me closer to the intimacy He desired for me to experience in our relationship. A similar book, God’s heart, My Home, could also be written as it would surely capture the point of Psalm 91.

Saint Augustine of Hippo in his book, The Confessions, noted our place of rest in God:  "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you."

Jesus first promised this:

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29)

“Let your bearing for one another arise out of your life in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5, The New English Bible, 1961) This verse is my inspiration for my life’s mission to make the life in Christ my way of life. This verse also points to the truth of Psalm 91. My life in Christ is not only my way of life, but my life in Christ is also my life. My life in Christ is the home for my heart; therefore, as I live in the shelter of the Most High, I find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

My Takeaway: My goal is to take the platitudes of this last paragraph and make them the actual reality in my life, I want this prose to become the tangible reality of my life. This reality will make firm in my life the assurance of Saint Paul, “If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” (Romans 8:31b)

My book on prayer,

First Think, Then Pray

is now available on Amazon Kindle.

 

(Selah is a word that appears in the Book of Psalms that I often use as the Complimentary Closing in my correspondence. Its meaning, as I use the word, is to pause and think about these things.)
