And Our Walls Are ...

The will of God is prime spiritual real estate.  It is the safest, most secure “place” in which a person can dwell. 

In order to live within this refuge, however, we must embrace its walls.
   
The primary perimeters of God's will are not at all hard to find. They are revealed in Scripture and outlined clearly in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.   

Because God loves us, He has set these boundaries in place for our security, and He has generously revealed them to us. 
 
"Live in My will,” God tells me.  “Live in My will when you understand it and when you do not.  Trust ME." 

In the face of such an invitation, I have a choice to make.  I am issued this invitation not just once, but in circumstance after circumstance, day after day. 
 
Will I dwell in the security of God’s will? 

Or must I insist on stumbling about in the hazards of my own. 

“You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, say to the Lord:  ‘my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’”  (Psalm 91:1-2)

“You must know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is within - the Spirit you have received from God.  You are not your own.  You have been purchased, and at a price!  So glorify God in your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
