That I may dwell in the house of the LORD

Ps.

{27:4} One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his
temple.
{27:5} For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in
the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up
upon a rock.


Job.
{38:1} Then the LORD answered Job out of the
whirlwind, and said,

{38:22} Hast thou entered into the treasures of
the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
{38:23} Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
against the day of battle and war?


Ps. {37:39} But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is]
their strength in the time of trouble.
{37:40} And the LORD shall help them and deliver them: he shall deliver
them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.


Ps. {41:1} Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver
him in time of trouble.


Isa. {33:2} O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for
thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in
the time of trouble


Rev. {12:1} And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great
prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and
there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since
there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time
thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found
written in the book.

Rev. {16:17} And the
seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there
came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the
throne, saying, It is done. {16:18} And there were voices,
and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth,
so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great. {16:19} And the
great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the
nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before
God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness
of his wrath. {16:20} And every island fled away, and the
mountains were not found. {16:21} And there fell upon
men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the
weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the
plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding
great.

Christ is our salvation, our rock.

1 Cor. {10:4} And did all drink the
same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock
that followed them: and that Rock was Christ


Ps. One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
life


One thing we should ALL desire and seek of the Lord is to dwell with Him in His house all the days of our lives. Dwelling with God is the perfect desire, dwelling with the Lord, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Saviour. Only by His grace is this possible.


There is a time of trouble coming, a terrible time of trouble and God has been prepared for this time for a long, long time. He has a store house of hail in reserve. As sure as anything that has been predicted has transpired, all the rest will.


Ps. {27:5} For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in
the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up
upon a rock.


Only by being in Christ can we survive. Only by being hid by Him in the secret of His tabernacle can we have hope. There is hope only in Christ, the rock, the chief cornerstone. May He hide us all in Him as we cling to the promise of salvation found only in Him, no where else, only in Him.


By His grace and mercy.


Amen.
