"GOD OUR RESORT"
Intro: David's experience in Adullam. David's desire to be on intimate terms not only with but in God. Not only to dwell in the house of the Lord forever but wanted Lord to be the house. Not just live within God's world, but in God.
I. GOD WAS TO DAVID A DELIGHTFUL REPOSE "BE THOU MY STRONG HABITATION" BE MY HOUSE AND HOME.
A. What condescension on God's part.
1. The glory of heaven - angel's worship.
B. Man's own house he finds love.
C. A place of rest.
D. Joyful freedom.
E. Intimate knowledge.
1. Knew the Lord as he did the caves.
F. Home a place of tender care. "Take me home."
II. IN GOD PEACEFUL SECURITY "BE THOU MY STRONG HABITATION "MY ROCK OF HABITATION."
A. Enter into Lord we are safe.
1. As Strong as the rock that enfolds us.
a. Blow winds - not slightest movement.
2. Great safety from enemies.
a. David watching Saul's men Eagle. "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper and every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn."
3. He who keeps thee neither slumbers or sleeps.

No man has ever resorted to God in excess.
