God is Holy, His habitation is holy, and He is to be worshipped in the beauty of holiness (Psalms 96:9). The habitation of the Lord is the place where God blesses His people with diverse kinds of blessings spiritual, physical and material.
However, only the pure and upright can be inhabited by God, and only people in whom the Lord dwells can enjoy the blessings of God’s presence that guarantees security, according to Psalms 91:1 which says: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
If you live holy, you live holy for yourself because the Lord watches over the righteous, according to Psalms 5:12.
Also, there is promotion for those who abide in the habitation of the Lord, according to Hebrews 1:9. which says: “Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”
The price of righteous living is what those who want to abide in the habitation of the Lord must pay. Today’s text emphasizes the necessity of righteousness if we would access protection. Nobody is careless about his or her precious possession. Anyone who chooses to live a consecrated life will enjoy divine protection. Such people are precious stones in the sight of the Lord. The Lord watches over His heritage.
This is why the Scripture says: “For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.” “Psalm 125:3”
God has promised to inhabit the praises of Israel – His people (Psalms 22:3). The question however is are you one of Gods people? You can only be one of His people if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and are living a righteous life. It is the best decision anyone can ever make. God keeps the righteous under His protection and ensures that evil does not befall them.
My prayer is that the Almighty God will inhabit your praises, and He will fill your life with blessings far beyond all expectations, in Jesus name.
