AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
Today’s Text: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. (Psalm 84:10)Today’s Thoughts: Today we’re looking at the third part of Psalm 23:6. Dwelling in the house of the Lord for ever starts right now, but only if we allow it to. We could either choose to dwell in the tents of wickedness or to dwell in the house of the Lord – the choice is ours. If we had to live in a king’s palace, I’m sure we’d act differently to how we normally do. We’d act like royalty. We’d want to please the king. It is the same with dwelling in the Lord’s house. He is the King of kings. In order to live in His house we need to allow Him to change our un-Christlike habits. Sin cannot dwell in the presence of a holy God. God takes the sinner and cleanses him of his sin. We just need to surrender and allow Him to do so. I want to stand unashamed before my holy God. I want to stand pure before Him because He has cleansed me. Don’t you?
Today’s Testimony: Today I’d like to share another one of my songs. The song is entitled: Follow His steps. God can cleanse us and will, but once He has, He calls us to follow His steps. He wants us to live a life renewed in Him. He wants us to dwell joyfully in His presence; living our lives totally for Him.
Follow His Steps
Follow His steps
Walk in the footprints of the Master
Let Him live His life out in you
Follow His steps
Walk in the footprints of the Master
May His will be done in all you do
He who has the Son has life
And if the Son abides in you
You will walk even as He did
So follow; follow His steps
Follow His steps
Walk in the footprints of the Master
Let Him live His life out in you
Follow His steps
Walk in the footprints of the Master
May His will be done in all you do
If we want to live in Christ, self must die
For we cannot serve two masters
We must serve Christ and Christ alone
We must follow; follow His steps
Follow His steps
Walk in the footprints of the Master
Let Him live His life out in you
Follow His steps
Walk in the footprints of the Master
May His will be done in all you do
O follow, follow His steps
Today’s Task: Follow Christ’s steps. Let Him live out His life in you. That’s the only way we can dwell in the presence of a holy God. He takes us just as we are, sin and all, but He must cleanse us. He wants us to live a life free of sin – He knows it will be a far happier life. Please allow Him to cleanse you. Please surrender your life totally to Him. You will not regret it.Follow His steps

Today’s Thanks: O Lord I thank You that You can cleanse us from our lives of sin. I thank You that You will help us to follow Your steps. Please help us to live our lives for You and start dwelling in Your presence right now. I thank You that we can dwell in Your house even though we live in a world full of wickedness – we need that peace and safety. I thank You for Your love. Amen.
