"Home" feels good and is good when it becomes a sanctuary away from the din and "push and shove" of the world, when it becomes an oasis from which to drink in the "pressing" times of life... a place of refreshment... when it becomes a place of residence for the Lord and a place of worship and gratitude for God's goodness.
These things cannot be seen with the eye, but they bring rest in the spirit and can truly be felt by all who enter. Honor and reverence for a Holy God will establish a home on it's foundations as nothing else can. In this kind of home, happiness and joy reside. It is not dependent upon beautiful furnishings or "position" in life or who our friends are. It is dependent upon Who we know... Jesus. In Him we may dwell in peace and beauty.
"Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: and by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches."
Proverbs 24:3-4 KJV
