Contemplative Bible Reading

Numbers 35:34 (New Living Translation)

You must not defile the land where you live, for I live there myself. I am the Lord, who lives among the people of Israel.

The LORD God Jehovah had a strict warning to the people He had chosen. He was to live in the land with them. Therefore, they were to take care of that land as it was His home.

We can discuss all sorts of things about similes and analogies and other methods of communicating a thought. Still, Jehovah emphasized that He was with His people and they were to live accordingly.

Me, today? How is my land? How is my home? How is my heart? Are those places suitable for Jehovah? If not, why not?
