Humility, Essential For the Presence of God.

                 For thus says the high and exalted One
                 Who lives forever, whose name is Holy,
                  I dwell on a high and holy place,
                  And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
                  In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
                  And to revive the heart of the contrite.
                                        Isaiah 57:15 NASB
   
     God is present everywhere (Psalm 139:7-10), but He only dwells in two places. As the Holy God, He dwells in the high and holy place. He also desires to dwell with man, but cannot dwell where sin reigns. It is in the place of brokenness, the humble heart submitted to the Savior, where Christ desires to dwell.
