DIVINE HEALTH
“Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling. – Psalm 91:9-10
What does it mean to make the Lord your “dwelling place”? Surely that is much different than just seeking Him in times of trouble (getting religious when the heat’s on). Rather, it speaks of a 24/7 relationship, having a heart that is always inclined toward heaven.
When God finds people who love abiding in His presence, He promises the reward found in our key scripture. In essence He is saying, “If you decide to live with Me, then I will decide to live with you. I will be an invisible presence, abiding in your home, repelling evil, and pouring out My blessing on everyone under your roof.”
The specific promise in Psalm 91:9-10 is divine health—not just the removal of disease, but also the prevention of it. The passage says it will not come “near” our “dwelling.” Those who live in our homes should automatically receive the overflow of this blessing. If in 1 Samuel 6 the household of Obed-Edom was blessed because the ark of the covenant was placed in his home, how much more will your household be blessed if the divine presence that rested in the ark actually lives within you?
PRAYER DECLARATION
Lord God, I believe the promise of Deuteronomy 7:15 that you will take away all sickness from Your people. But better still, I believe the promise of Psalm 91:10—that no sickness will come near my dwelling. Thank you for protecting Joshua and Mikayla from all disease and imparting divine health to our family—wholeness in body, mind, soul, and spirit. You are the Lord our healer (Exod. 15:26), and You are Lord of our home. In the name of Jesus, amen (let it be so)!
