"The Habitation of His Throne" -2

"Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne." (Psalms 97:2)
It really does not matter where I am or what I have done, finding God's habitation is always just a prayer away from where I am at. This is the special relationship that we get to experience with God, because we need not wait for anything or anyone, we just need to cry out, Abba Father! When you look at the word "habitation," it connects the dwelling place with a fixed place, an established place, a foundation. Jesus is our Foundation; it is the blood of Jesus that gives us access into this dwelling place; it is the righteousness of Jesus that allows us to be able to enter in. Without getting overly spiritual or mystical, I can say without a doubt that there really is a place; it's not physically here or there, but it is spiritually right where you need it to be. I know, that sounds really weird; but the biggest factor in knowing where you are when you get there, is Truth. Yesterday Pastor Jerry was teaching on the Armor of God, and he pointed out the first and most important part of the Armor is Truth; it's the belt of the Armor that holds together the lower covering and the breastplate; without the belt, the warrior could not fight as well, because he would need to continually hold up his lower covering, least he be exposed. I know it paints a funny picture; but if you really stop and think about it, it's straight to the point. The second part of the Armor is the breastplate, which is the representation of righteousness; not only that, but the breastplate almost always was personalized to represent what you were or what you stood for. In our case, this righteousness displayed is not our own, but it is the righteousness of Jesus Christ. It is that truth which keeps us covered, if you will, but the Truth is connected to the breastplate and our lower covering. With that, the thing which had me scratching my head was the "darkness" mentioned above as being "round about him." When you look it up, it's pretty much just darkness, utter darkness, even gross darkness. Truth is a very certain place; as pointed as that might appear, it is the Truth...
"But to the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever. You rule with a scepter of justice. You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than anyone else." He also says to the Son, "In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands. They will perish, but you remain forever. They will wear out like old clothing. You will fold them up like a cloak and discard them like old clothing. But you are always the same; you will live forever."" (Hebrews 1:8-12) NLT
