Dwelling in God
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1 ESV)
The above passage talks about dwelling in the shelter of God’s Almighty shadow. It’s a picture of the perfect security and rest that can be had through dwelling in the presence of God (see definition below). Unfortunately, many Christians miss out on these dwelling benefits because they don’t dwell in God’s presence, they only visit there.
Dwell – abide, inhabit, remain, stay, exist, reside, hole up, continue, lodge, nest, occupy, park, perch, quarter, rest, roost, settle, sojourn, stop, tarry, tenant, tent.
God dwells
“God "dwells in light" (1 Timothy 6:16; 1 John 1:7), in heaven (Psalms 123:1), in his church ( Psalms 9:11; 1 John 4:12). Christ dwelt on earth in the days of his humiliation (John 1:14). He now dwells in the hearts of his people (Ephesians 3:17-19). The Holy Spirit dwells in believers (1 Corinthians 3:16; 2 Tim 1:14). We are exhorted to "let the word of God dwell in us richly" (Colossians 3:16; Psalms 119:11).
When you make God your dwelling place
“Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place— the Most High, who is my refuge— no evil shall be allowed to befall you, no plague come near your tent.” (Psalms 91:9-10 ESV)
“Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.” (Psalm 140:13 ESV)
You will have perfect peace
“You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You.” (Isa. 26:3 NKJV)
