We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; in deed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul ... if there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

What kind of habitation would the Lord be happy in?



“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel…The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation, he is my salvation. He is my God and I will prepare him an habitation.” (Exodus 15: 1-2)
What kind of habitation would the Lord be happy in? Definitely the Temples, but what about our homes? Sometimes it is difficult to remember to pray and read the scriptures and meditate, bless the food and all those other routine things some take for granite. There may be some that have it all down pat and allow no discouraging words or evil past their front door but for most of us it is a daily struggle. I mean how can we close our door to the family member who has slipped and fallen and still believe what we believe?
 I am grateful for my blog. I post most of the time, and during times when I am discouraged I go back and read what I have written and it lifts me. It does take some effort to prepare a habitation for the Lord but the overall results are worth it in strength and confidence in the Lord.
