I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob. Psalm 132:4-5
Find a dwelling place for God. Seek a home for the Divine.
The Psalmist declares that this is our work.
And here’s the thing, as Jesus reminds us in Mark (and everywhere else through Scripture):
God’s dwelling place is IN humanity---in us----in our flesh. We are a people of the Incarnation. God enfleshed in human form. Immanuel: God with us.
Advent is all about preparing room for God in our hearts. So that God may dwell within us. Prepare Him room.
Too often, our words, actions, and choices push God to the edges, or even out of the doors, of our heart.
Today, let every heart prepare God room. God dwells in us. Let’s be radically welcoming.
