What You Dwell on

Friday, September 29, 2023

Some people dwell on evil: of other people, of the world, of cults, of the occult or of various religions. There's a place and need to be aware, but there's no place for letting our hearts dwell on evil. Most people who dwell on the bad aren't joyful and have no peace. It's the dwell on - dwell in principle. What you dwell on you'll end up dwelling in. If you dwell on the wrong of other people; on sin and on impurity; you'll dwell in it. When judging, condemning and looking for evil; you'll be in sin. The Pharisees dwelt on the sins of others and they fell into the sin of pride and judgment. So ask yourself, "What do you want to dwell in, heaven or a heavenly life?" Philippians 4:8 says, "Dwell on what is ... pure, lovely, of good report." Blessed are the pure in heart, they'll see God. Dwell on God, on His peace, blessings and love. Dwell on heaven and you'll dwell in heaven. Because what you dwell on, ultimately in the end, when all is said and done, you'll end up dwelling in.
