Where are you choosing to Dwell?

I have heard many people say, and I myself have said for many years, “I can’t help it, I’m just a worrier.” This is not the truth, the truth is we choose to worry because we don’t yet know how to trust God in every circumstance. We become good at worrying because we practice it. And the truth is we can in the same way become good at trusting God if we practice it. We need to let our first response in any situation be to trust God. We choose what we dwell in, and today we need to dwell in the shelter of the Most High. Not the lies and worries of the world. 

Psalm 91:1-2 1 “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadows of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’"

Fortress- A large fortified place, A place of exceptional security.

Whatever we choose to dwell in becomes our fortress and our fortress is what surrounds and covers us. If we choose to dwell in negativity and fear then that is exactly what will surround us. We need to dwell on God and his word so that we may be surrounded by Him. 

Im am telling you, my life has changed miraculously since I have learned to rely on God in many circumstances rather then dwell in fear and worry. There is freedom and we don’t have to live lives confined to fear and worry. 

It seems that there is always something to worry about in todays world. I am learning that sometimes being able to rest in His peace requires me to cling to his promises and His Word. Rather than the facts and opinions of this world. We need to stand on what God and His Word says. Sometimes we need to speak of things that aren't, as if they are. We need to have faith to believe that God will follow through with what he has said. 

It is so easy to look at the world and our circumstances, rather then to God and His promises. But I am telling you this is vital! We need to look to Gods Word and what he has said, before we ever look at our circumstances. 

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 

Lets choose today to find our comfort and shelter in Him. Nothing else in this world will ever fill and satisfy us like the love of The Lord. Lets be intentional today to spend time with and rest in His mighty power and strength.
