2 Chronicles 18:1-19:11; Ezekiel 38:1-23; John 15:17-16:15
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith… Ephesians 3:17
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock Revelation 3:20
What a loss! Instead of Christ being “at home” in Laodicean hearts, He was outside, patiently knocking. He wants nearness, and first place in my affections. This nearness will enable my being to be filled with all the fulness of God: enjoying every spiritual blessing (Eph. 3:19). If I hear His voice and open the door, He will be “at home” with me. There are no shortcuts. By daily meditating in His Word (Psalm 1:2), we “sup together”. Anything less endangers us and also a lampstand’s testimony. —David W. Oliver
But in Bethlehem’s home was there found no room,
For Thy holy nativity,
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
There is room in my heart for Thee. —Aubrey Suwito
