Psalm 121:8 English Standard Version (ESV) The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

The end of yesterday’s blog asked us what keeps us from coming to Christ. It is an all important issue for the lost to find salvation but it is not the only time we come to Christ.

Matthew 6:6 English Standard Version (ESV) But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Revelation 3:20 English Standard Version (ESV) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

Galatians 4:6 English Standard Version (ESV) And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”

Given that Jesus knocks at the door to our hearts as lost souls, and we answer and invite Him into our hearts, then this private room we go to pray is where He abides, in our hearts. We perceive with our minds, and all the distractions come to us by sight, sound and touch. This coming and going referred to in Psalm 121:8 is tied directly to Matthew 6:6 in that we live in our heads most of the time and we have access to Him in our hearts.

Wherever we go, Christ is with us. If we go to a football game, He is with us but our focus is on the game. If we go to a restaurant we focus on the menu and what we want to eat, but He is still with us.

Where we go is our choice but do we consider Christ in making those choices?

Where do we take Christ?
