Homilist Psalm 71:8 Let my mouth be filled with your praise and with your honor all the day. I. A SENSE OF THE SOUL'S NEED. The soul needs a "habitation." It is a homeless wanderer. 1. It wants a home for protection. How exposed is a guilty soul? 2. It wants a home for comfort. Home is the scene of comfort. But the guilty soul is comfortless. 3. It wants a home for settledness. It is a restless wanderer. II. A FAITH IN GOD'S SUFFICIENCY. God is just the "habitation" which the soul wants, affording security, comfort, and permanent residence. 1. God is an accessible habitation. The doors of infinite love are ever open to welcome all who come. This habitation is ever near to us. 2. God is a secure habitation. Those who are in Him are safe from all dangers and all foes. "God is our refuge and strength." 3. God is a blessed habitation. In Him is found infinitely more than all we want to perfect us in everlasting bliss. 4. God is an enduring habitation. "The eternal God is our refuge," etc. Return, O prodigal, to thy Father's house.
