Your Daily Slice


Iyar 2
My Residence


And I shall dwell in the House of יהוה, To the length of days! (Ps 23:6 ISR)


We understand from the Scriptures that the mishkan (tabernacle) that was raised in the wilderness was also called the “Dwelling Place”, because, quite simply, His presence filled it (see Ex 40:34).  We know that the hekal (Temple) built in Yerushalayim (Solomon was responsible for building the first one – see 1kin 6:1)) was called the “House of YHWH”, where the presence of Elohim was also found (2Chr 7:1).

According to His Word, our Elohim has another place in which He Dwells – within us, His children, those of us who are called by His Name (see 1Cor 6:19).  However, as with all of our dealings with our Creator, there are responsibilities that we must acknowledge and tend to in order to enjoy His 24/7 presence.  It is up to us to keep this dwelling clean and fit for His use, or suffer the consequences.

Personally, I would prefer to “dwell in this fleshly Dwelling Place” - with YHWH, for time eternity.


Do you not know that you are a Dwelling Place of Elohim and that the Spirit of Elohim dwells in you? If anyone destroys the Dwelling Place of Elohim, Elohim shall destroy him. For the Dwelling Place of Elohim is set-apart, which you are. (1Cor 3:16-17 ISR)

And what union has the Dwelling Place of Elohim with idols? For you are a Dwelling Place of the living Elohim, as Elohim has said, “I shall dwell in them and walk among them, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.” Therefore, “Come out from among them and be separate, says יהוה, and do not touch what is unclean, and I shall receive you. And I shall be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says יהוה the Almighty. (2Cor 6:16-18 ISR)
