'The Original Cave Dwellers.'
Genesis 19:30.
a) Lot went up from Zoar and dwelt in the mountains,
b) And his two daughters were with him;
c) For he was afraid to dwell in Zoar.
d) And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.
(This QT reveals The Original Cave Dwellers, and also the reason that they lived in a cave...it was fear)
PRAYER: For those people today who are living in fear because of their environment.

'According To His Own Purpose And Grace.'
2 Timothy 1:9.
a) God has Saved us.
b) God has called us with a Holy Calling. (Romans 8:28; 11:29)
c) Not according to our works, (Ephesians 2:9)
d) But according to His Own Purpose and Grace,
e) Which was given to us in Christ Jesus
f) Before time began.
(This Second one gives me a heart full of Thanksgiving to God; because He has Saved us According To His Own Purpose And Grace)
PRAYER: For Saved people to understand that they are Saved by God According To His Own Purpose And Grace.

Sometimes people move their dwelling place because of fear. If we are True Believers, we should never have to do that ... we move, if we move, in the Will of God. Unless we are living in a 'war zone', when we have to move for physical safety, we should only prayerfully and carefully move our home in the Will of God. We should remember that, wherever we are living, our dwelling place is God's Provision and not just 'our property'.
Especially in the Gospels, we can read about various people's dwelling places and how those places were sometimes used for the Glory of God in different ways, Jesus was welcomed physically into several people's homes.
Having lived in and visited different parts of the world, I have had the privilege of entering many types of home. I have also lived in areas where certain people would never open their homes to anyone, places where most of the windows are just narrow slots in a wall. I was really surprised to see that, even entire villages and communities 'living behind slots.'
Whatever the external environment, may God be Glorified in our dwelling places, whether we live in a 'dorm' room, or have our own home, whether we live behind 'narrow slots', or have big windows.
