Day 177

Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

Truth: God dwells where the truth of the law is.       (Commandments)

Truth: God dwells where the place of mercy is.         (Mercy Seat)

Truth: God dwells where it is always holy.                (Holy Place)

Truth: God dwells in the presence of creation.           (cherubs)

God dwelt in the Temple Solomon built.  His presence was obvious to all.

1Ki 8:3-11 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.

 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.

 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

 So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:

This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.

Is God’s presence in you?   This indwelling comes by faith.

Eph 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
