Live above, not in your dwelling

The place God made for man to dwell, was so designed to suit him well. Created perfect, without flaw, each small detail inspired awe. Living is much more than dwelling Its impact is much more telling. It pertains to our being, not just to what others are seeing. God made us to live forever and His love will leave us never. Sin has not quenched our desire to live the life that is higher. Enjoying fellowship with God, each moment by His presence awed, delighting to Him worship give, this is how we were meant to live. To live in this ethereal space requires God’s enabling grace. When we are sustained by God’s love we seek those things which are above Our minds and thoughts are renewed when they are with God’s Word infused. As we delight to do God’s will His fragrance will our being fill. The trials and the cares of earth will not invade our soulish mirth for we are breathing heaven’s air and live in a celestial sphere. The allurements of earthly things no longer tug at our heartstrings. In Christ, we’ve found the perfect home while dwelling below heaven’s dome. Our dwelling here is built on sand the storms of life it can’t withstand. It is somewhat like a tent that life’s storms can easily rent. If you live within your dwelling you will all perish in its felling, If you pursue earthly pleasures, you’ll forfeit eternal treasures. Live above, not in your dwelling, by a life refined and telling. Then when Jesus comes in the sky, you will ascend with Him on high.
