What Are You Dwelling On?

All throughout scripture, God has promised to be your Protector, Defender, your Strength, your Shelter and so much more. It says in Psalms, “In peace I will lie down and sleep because You alone, Lord make me dwell in safety and confident trust.” Even when the storms of life come against you, as long as you are dwelling in Him, you dwell in safety and trust – nothing can take away your peace and joy… unless you let it.

What does it mean to dwell in the Lord? One of the definitions of the word “dwell” means to keep your attention directed toward something. The more you keep your attention directed toward God, the more you will know Him, and the more confidence you will have in Him.

When you focus your heart and mind on the word of God and declare His promises over your life, you are dwelling in Him. When you lift your voice in worship and give Him glory and honor, you are dwelling in Him. When you spend time meditating on Him and connecting with Him through prayer, you are dwelling in Him.

Are you facing a difficult situation? Give your attention to your heavenly Father. Do you need His peace and protection? Focus your heart and mind on Him. As you dwell on Him, you will see His increasing goodness, and you’ll learn to live in peace and victory all the days of your life!
