A woman ceases to make God her home when she no longer believes He offers what she needs. The promise of abundant life doesn’t seem abundant. There can be many reasons for this. She is experiencing too much pain in this world and is blaming God for it. She is running from the One she believes is responsible instead of understanding that Jehovah Rapha is her healing. She has no experience with how to make God her home. She has sojourned in distant lands, looking for anyone who will offer her temporary shelter. Satan took advantage of her in her time of vulnerability and offered her some counterfeit ways out of distress.
Ah, but there comes a day when God begins to clarify. The fog of misunderstanding of who He is begins to clear. This woman shakes her head, steps into wisdom, and realizes her folly. God’s true character materializes in full-blown pictures in her spirit. Hunger for His presence is awakened. She begins her trip back home, back to her roots. “Before the foundation of the world, I knew you.”
Yes, she remembers that scripture now. She realizes that she can find the love she’s been looking for by making her home with God. She runs to Him, trembling with awe and excitement. She lays claim to the land that has always been hers. She begins to nest in it with confidence. Joy floods her life, joy that comes from living in the light of God’s countenance. His smile says, “I love you and you belong with Me.”
They will come trembling like birds from Egypt, and like doves from the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses, declares the Lord. Hosea 11:11
Daughters of promise 
I couldn’t sleep tonight with so much on my mind about my family. My son who is smart but hasn’t been trying in school. He hasn’t been turning in his homework. I really wanted to see him go to Word of Life next fall. At first he was interested, and now he’s not. I thought it would be so good for him to go and see where God would lead him for the future. My daughter who just got married. She suffers from clinical depression and a devouring desire to buy clothes. The credit card bills she is running up for her new husband, it’s not good. He loves her dearly. Then he says at times she will cry and say she wants to go home, but she doesn’t want to leave him. I pray for guidance. Then I saw your blog. The Lord is using you to speak to me. I really need it tonight. My heart aches. It’s in Gods hands. For some reason your name came to my mind tonight. I googled you. Your words spoke to me. Thank you.
