Title: THE HOME OF GOD IN THE HEART OF MAN Post by: nChrist on June 07, 2005, 05:10:55 AM June 7
THE HOME OF GOD IN THE HEART OF MAN "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. THIS VERSE has reference to God's two Homes--the macrocosm of .the great universe and the microcosm of the human heart. Our God is so great that the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him, but 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. The humble and contrite heart. It seems almost too wonderful to believe that the Eternal One will care to come and live with the child of Time; that the Infinite and Holy God will descend to the narrow limits of a human heart! (see Joh_14:23). PRAYER Spirit of purity and grace, Our weakness, pitying, see; O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place, And worthier Thee. AMEN. _______________________ Written by F. B. Meyer The F. B.
