When You Don’t Get Anything Out of Devotions

Ben Hicks has written a nice description about the effects of our devotions on us, using an apt comparison to diet and exercise.

Sometimes God meets with us in a special way. Occasionally a verse or a phrase or a thought can revolutionize our lives, but I have found that those times tend to be rare. Rather, it’s the slow and steady repetition of reading God’s Word, asking Him to change me, and watching as that happens little by little through the weeks, months, and years.

Let Me Dwell In Your Tent Forever

Here’s a look at David’s request in Psalm 61 to dwell in God’s tent forever. Wes Bredenhof explains how strange this request may have sounded and how we can take comfort in it now.

David isn’t a High Priest.  He wasn’t even from the tribe of Levi (the tribe of the priests) – he was from the tribe of Judah.  Even though he’s the king, David has no right to dwell in the tabernacle.  He doesn’t have the right to find shelter under the wings of the cherubim in the Most Holy Place.  He’s not allowed in there.  And the idea of dwelling in God’s tent forever?  How could it be possible for a sinful human being to do that?  The prayer David expresses here doesn’t seem to have any remote possibility of being answered.

Fieldnotes (II)
