Today's Scripture *February 4, 2010*
1 Kings 6:13
I will live among the Israelites and will never abandon my people Israel.”
This verse summarizes the Temple's main purpose. God promised that His eternal presence would never leave the Temple as long as one condition was met : The Israelites had to obey God's Law. Knowing how many laws they had to follow, we may think this condition was difficult. But the Israelites' situation was much like ours today : They were not cut off from God for failing to keep some small part of the Law. Forgiveness was amply provided for all their sins, no matter how large or small. As you read the history of the kings, you will see that lawbreaking was the result, not the cause, of estrangement from God. The kings abandoned God in their hearts first and then failed to keep His Laws.
When we close our hearts to God, we soon lose His power and presence.
God, we worship You and we thank You for Your presence.
Help us to read Your Word with new eyes to see and ears to hear.
May we understand even deeper the love You have for us.
And may we seek to follow You in all Your ways. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless!
