Living in God’s House

Psalm 84:4 — What joy for those who can live in your house, always singing your praises.

Often when we read this verse, we can get the impression that this it is in reference to those you have the luxury of constantly living in God’s presence singing and worshiping. For the rest of that actually have jobs, families, and other varying responsibilities, we can’t afford that luxury.

However, I don’t believe that the heart behind this scripture due to our new covenant. It’s not that we should live inside the church building or inside our prayer closet. If we are the temple of Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19), then we are constantly living in God’s house. Actually, we ARE God’s house.

If our spirit is constantly activated, then our lives are filled with worship which includes singing praises. Therefore, as you live your life today, remember that as a believer in Jesus Christ, you are the dwelling place of God. Remember that you live in that place. Remember to keep your spirit activated so that your life is filled with and IS worship.
