Abiding in God

God wants to be your dwelling place. 
He has no interest in being a weekend getaway or a Sunday bungalow or a summer cottage.
Don’t consider using God as a holiday cabin or an eventual retirement home.
He wants you under his roof now and always.
He wants to be your postal address, your point of reference; he wants to be your home.

Listen to the promise of his Son in John 14:23:
Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.
My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.

This might be a new thought for you.
We think of God as a deity to discuss, not a place to dwell.
We think of God as a mysterious miracle worker, not a house to live in.
We think of God as a Creator to call on, not a home to reside in.
But our Father wants to be much more.
He wants to be the one in whom we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28).
