Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Psalm chapter 61 verse 4.

Let me dwell in your tent forever.

Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings.

You know, I should add that at the end of both of those sentences in verse 4, there are exclamation points in Psalm 61. in your wings exclamation point. What a prayer. God this is where I want to be. I just

want to dwell in your tent wherever you are I want to be where you are. I want to find

refuge under and this is imagery we see at different points all throughout the

Bible under the shelter of your wings. There is no safer, better, more secure, more satisfying place to be than in the

tent with God himself or under the wings of God himself. And as I read this in the

Old Testament I think about God's word to us in the New Testament

that through faith in Jesus in covenant relationship with Him through the blood of Jesus. He is not just forgiven us of all our

sin and open the way for us to have communion with God, for us to come into the tent, to be with

God even more so he has filled us with his spirit he's put his

holy spirit inside of us in such a way that you and I are temples, tabernacles, tents of the Holy Spirit.

He lives in us.

And so I just want to encourage you today,

as you go throughout your day,

or if you're listening to this at night,

just as you rest the night and get up tomorrow

to see yourself in this way to see yourself at every moment amidst

whatever you're walking through and it's whatever you do amidst whatever temptations

you face and everything you do see yourself under
