Psalm 119:17-24 || Ep. 923
Feeling like you don’t belong? You’re in good company. In this episode of the Dwelling Richly podcast, we continue our summer series on studying the Bible, focusing on Psalm 119:17-24. I’ll talk about the feeling of being different and out of place in the world as Christians and how this aligns with Biblical teachings. David’s wrote about exactly this – in Psalm 119 reminding us of how common it is to feel like you do not belong. I’ll connect to other Bible verses that talk about being set apart as God’s people and living as citizens of heaven. Lots of practical applications and encouragement to stay immersed in God’s Word! You got this!

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word – not “doing” Bible study, not simply reading – but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It’s being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.
