Have you had
your Joy Juice today? Home is a great
place to have your first serving of joy this morning.
The word “home” should have a
peaceful, restful, loving connotation.
In the best case scenario “home” is where we all like to be. It’s a place of comfort and familiarity.
Often it’s our refuge away from the aggravations and responsibilities of daily
life. Truly, there is NO PLACE LIKE HOME!
In Deuteronomy 33:27 we read these
words: “The eternal God is your dwelling
place.”
Alistair Begg explains: “‘Dwelling
place’ may be translated "refuge" or "abiding-place" and
provides the thought that God is our abode, our home. There is a fullness and
sweetness in the metaphor, for our home is dear to our hearts, although it may
be the humblest cottage or the tiniest loft; and dearer still is our blessed
God, in whom we live and move and have our being.
It is at
home that we feel safe: We shut the world out and dwell in quiet security. So
when we are with our God, we fear no evil. He is our shelter and retreat, our
abiding refuge. At home we can find repose after the fatigue and toil of the
day. And so our hearts find rest in God when, wearied with life's conflict, we
turn to Him, and our soul dwells secure.”
Home is where your joy-filled heart should
be! May God always be our “dwelling place”!
