The original Hebrew of the verse above states, “how amiable are thy tabernacles.” Amiable means “beloved or lovely,” and tabernacle means “dwelling place.”

“Look! GOD’s tabernacle is with human beings. And from now on HE will tabernacle with them as their GOD. Now GOD himself will have HIS home with them—‘GOD-with-them’ will be their GOD.” Revelation 21:3 (TPT)

Are you getting a sense of this picture yet? Is the HOLY SPIRIT weaving this together for you, daughter/son of Zion? You ARE THE beautiful dwelling place of the MOST HIGH!

The dwelling place or tabernacle of the LORD is US! GOD says HE finds SO much beauty in you. You are beloved, you are CAPABLE to house HIS Presence!

GOD chose us to be His dwelling place; nothing else is allowed inside. We are HIS; HE claims ownership. HE is THAT very possessive LOVER!

When we do let HIM take over, HE breaks things. Remember JESUS with the whip? Yes, our LORD is very, very possessive. HE does not share HIS love with others. HIS Presence wants ALL OF ME. (I apologize if this seems violent to some. Forgive me.) Even when JESUS went into the temple with the whip, people did not understand HIM; they said HE was crazy. They asked HIM who gave HIM the right? Go back and read that chapter. HE was VERY angry (John 2:14-17).

“Deep within me are these lovesick longings, desires, and daydreams of living in union with you. When I’m near you my heart and my soul will sing and worship with my joyful songs of you, my true source and spring of life!” Psalm 84:2 (TPT)

‍

If I am the dwelling place of the LORD, if the Presence of YESHUA dwells within me, then Psalm84:2 makes sense. This also concerns me. Ask yourself, truthfully, deep within you, are there lovesick longings, desires, or daydreams of being with the LORD?I asked myself that question. I would be honest to say sometimes I do have those desires and sometimes I don’t.

Prayer

LORD, I am YOUR dwelling place. Forgive me for allowing other things to take up space. As the Psalm says, deep within me should be lovesick longings, desires, and daydreams of being with you. LORD, take ownership of this dwelling place. YOU are the landlord. Take over every inch of this space. In JESUS' Name. Amen!
