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.

Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical,
conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy
of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a
range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed
in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
