The House Of The Lord

Your home should be a place where you find peace, protection and comfort. It’s the place we long for when we’ve been gone to long. It’s where we gather with friends and family. It’s where we feel most at ease and where we can be ourselves. It’s no wonder King David didn’t just long for his home, but the house of the Lord. That was the place of refuge from all the war he endured. It’s where he could just sit in God’s presence and be honest with God. It’s no wonder he wrote about the house of the Lord so much. There are blessings there for us as believers. There is growth, healing and hope for us in His house. If your house isn’t what it should be for you, there is a place of rest, protection and hope for you in His house. Whether it’s in your church or in your eternal home that Jesus is building, you have a place in the house of the Lord.

Here are some Bible verses on the house of the Lord.

1. Blessed and greatly favored are those who dwell in Your house and Your presence; They will be singing Your praises all the day long. Selah.

Psalms 84:4 AMP

2. But I know that you will welcome me into your house, for I am covered by your covenant of mercy and love. So I come to your sanctuary with deepest awe to bow in worship and adore you.

Psalms 5:7 TPT

3. But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house. They flourish in the courts of our God.

Psalms 92:12-13 NLT

4. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23:6 ESV

5. One thing I have asked of the Lord, and that I will seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, To gaze upon the beauty [the delightful loveliness and majestic grandeur] of the Lord And to meditate in His temple.

Psalms 27:4 AMP
