Sara Redeemed
House of the Lord
Kingdom of God
One thing I ask of the Lord,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him….
Psalm 27:4
Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23:6
.
Since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith….Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:21-23
In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your
holy dwelling.
Exodus 15:13
Exodus 15:13
I like this. We’ve moved so many times, we have come to more intensely long for a place to settle down permanently. That desire for a permanent place is built into us I guess. But too often it distracts me from remembering my true “permanent address” rather than draw me to hope for it. Thanks for reminding us where home is.
Sara,
I really loved reading your dad’s comments. It brought a tear to my eye. I really liked this verse because it reminds first that my “dream house” is in heaven and will not be found on this earth and like Exodus says…In HIS strength HE will guide us to our holy dwelling! It will be HIS stregth because I am tired of the whole thing and what we really want is a holy dwelling place for our family to grow in the Lord and be hospitible to others to show His love to others. Great journal! Thanks for sharing with us.
