The Lord Will

Psalm 68:16

β€œWhy leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which God desireth to dwell in; yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 68

Meaning

Divine choice rather than visible elevation determines the poem's center.

Bashan, Sinai, ascent, and the sanctuary

Mountain and chariot imagery culminate in God's ascent and dwelling among the people.

Read carefully

The verse celebrates God's dwelling, not a license to dominate other peoples.

Reflection

Resist treating spiritual belonging as superiority over others.
