Thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite spirit. Isa 57:15.

God has two homes. This scripture passage teaches us that God dwells in the macrocosm of the great universe, and He abides in the microcosm of the heart of man. Our God is so great that the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him, yet He is so lowly and humble that He will stoop to fill the heart of a child. He bids us learn of Him, for He is “meek and lowly in heart” (Mt 11:29). It seems almost too wonderful to believe that the Eternal God of the universe, and all creation, would care to come and live with the child of Time (Our Daily Walk, by F. B. Meyer). It is inconceivable to that the Infinite and Holy God will descend to the narrow limits of a human heart. Our God comes to dwell in the humble and contrite heart. God is fervent in His love and faithful to His word as Jesus taught His disciples that “if a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him (John 14:23). It is too wonderful to imagine that God, in all His glory, and all His wonder, would dwell in the heart of man. What an unimaginable love! A love that is indivisible and inseparable, and we know that nothing “shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:39). My friend, receive the love that God has for you today and delight in His presence that your heart might be His dwelling place. Father, thank You that You make humble abode in the hearts of men who receive You by faith in Jesus Christ, that we may know You and dwell with You for all eternity. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
