who will dwell on the heights?

4 December 2011 who will dwell on the heights?
Those who walk righteously 
   and speak what is right, 
who reject gain from extortion 
   and keep their hands from accepting bribes, 
who stop their ears against plots of murder 
   and shut their eyes against contemplating evil 
 They are the ones who will dwell on the heights, 
    whose refuge will be the mountain fortress. 
Their bread will be supplied, 
   and water will not fail them.Isaiah33:15-16

The general standards prevalent in this world is the demarcation between high and low, rich and poor, elevated and deprived .It extends in all forms, right from basic amenities to elite phase. But when God blesses his children- it is entirely different, wholesome, and thereby  they live in peace, they lack nothing, ‘cause God is the supplier.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty…..He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust….Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence….. he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;…… no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent…….. I will be with him in trouble…… With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. Psalm 91:1-16

This is the way we are cared for and on whom we put our trust. Among the never ending list of ‘wants’, we lack nothing, to yearn for.

The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” Psalm 34:10
He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever”. Psalm 111:5

Really an awesome blessing from God .BUT there is a condition behind this. Such a peaceful life style requires a stringent way of life. (It does not mean that you have to live a strange pattern of life. But you have to follow the laws of God with grateful heart). It is simple but very hard.

All persons may not be worth of such an immaculate care. Obviously a  righteous persons are bound by a set of statues, to be blessed.
Beware that we have no role model before us and no logical decree to adopt.
WE are the children of Heavenly king (Jesus) and we have been given a NEW PATH TO WALK UPON.

Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.  Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.”Joshua 1:7-8

Be strong and very courageous.

 God be with you
