Revelation 3:10 Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Revelation 21:22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
We have a rich offer to live in God and for God to live in us. That has been His desire for us revealed from Exodus to Revelation. While God abides in us, it is our choice whether or not to abide in Him.
If anything comes to attack us, let's run to the impenetrable High Tower of Jesus' name. Better yet, let's never leave....
We need to be aware that many problems, temptations and trials that never come close to us because God is our Defense. There is only one thing we can build our lives on one foundation that is eternal. Let's make sure that God's principles rule our lives and not those of the world. We need to make sure God is the center of our lives, running every area. Only then will we be balanced, founded and never shaken.
