"Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations."
Psalm 90:1 KJV
- Name of God the Father
- God is referred to as a "dwelling place" once in the KJV.
- The psalm writer uses the term dwelling place to signify the place where humankind truly belongs.
- Psalm 90 paints a picture of mankind turned loose to vent its youthful (and destructive) nature and suffer from the disapproval of God. But from the beginning, God has always welcomed us back to Him. In our few fleeting years on earth, we should try to acquire wisdom and an appreciation of the Lord before returning, like wayward children, to our final Dwelling Place- our loving, patient Father!
What are houses made of? Timber? Brick? Concrete? Corrugated iron? Leaves and branches? Man may have processed them, but God made them all!
Since the days of Adam and Eve, we have called our physical man-made structures home, but our souls have always been most at home with God. Only when we lay aside the shelter of our divinely inspired bodies will we really know what it is like to be home- in a Dwelling Place we need never leave again!
