making God our dwelling place

Psalm 91:9-10 (JDV)

Psalm 91:9 Because you have made Yahveh – where I live, the Most High – your dwelling place,
Psalm 91:10 no harm will come to you; no affliction will come near your tent.

making God our dwelling place

What does it mean to make God your dwelling place? Eaton says the “promises are given because of his trust in God” ((224). His tent may be in an unsecured place, but he is living in a secure place — God’s presence. That is where we can live — and it does not require a physical move. We just have to learn to trust in the God we believe in.
