"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, leap into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will actually happen, it will be done for them." (Mark 11:22-24)
3. **Luke 12:15**: Jesus reminds us that our treasure is in heaven, but we can also trust God to provide for our earthly needs.
"And I'll tell you why: the flesh is weak. But I'm telling you, watch out! Don't be taken in by this world or it's schemes. The people who are trying to get rich fall into all kinds of traps." (Luke 12:15, MSG)
4. **Philippians 4:19**: Paul writes that God will meet our needs according to His riches in glory.

I think you meant to ask "What does the Bible say about God being our home"?
The concept of God as our home or refuge is a beautiful and comforting one. Here are some verses that illustrate this idea:
1. **Psalm 91:9-10**: "Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place, even the Most High who is my Refuge (or 'My Home') has become your habitation." (ESV)
2. **Deuteronomy 33:27**: "The eternal God is your home, and underneath are the everlasting arms." (NIV)
3. **Psalm 62:8**: "Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart to Him, for God is your refuge." (NIV)
4. **Isaiah 25:4**: "For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in their distress. You have saved the humble from the enemy’s sword; as for all who seek help, they are glad that they are free. So the tongue of those skilled in murmuring shall praise your righteousness." (NRSV)
In these verses, God is portrayed as a safe and secure place to dwell, a refuge or home where we can find peace and protection. This concept is often tied to the idea of seeking shelter under His wings, like a bird finding safety in its nest.
For many people, this understanding of God as our home can bring great comfort during times of turmoil, uncertainty, or even fear. It reminds us that we don't have to face life's challenges alone, and that we can find solace and security in the presence of our loving God.
