“THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST!”

 Exodus 25:1;8                     (ESV)

“[1] The LORD said to Moses,….

[8] And let them make ME a sanctuary, “THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST”.”

As I sit here alone in my house in solitude, I am awaiting a WORD FROM THE LORD about these verses of Scripture that I shared with everyone this morning.  

In my Brain Damaged mind, I cannot imagine that THE ONE WHO CREATED me and THE ENTIRE WORLD would continually give me BREATH (Isaiah 42:5) when I fail to worship and adore HIS MAJESTY???  HE is requesting me to “sit down for a spell” with HIM, but I seem to think that I don’t have enough time for that!!

I see my family on a digital screen in my living room and my thoughts are WHAT IF they only acknowledged me was when they needed me??  Isn’t that what I usually do to my HEAVENLY FATHER???  I generally “present HIM my wish list” while praying and then get up and “run the race” I feel HE has assigned to me!  

But what about me simply spending time with THE LORD??  THE ONE WHO CREATED me??  Can I NOT simply WORSHIP HIM because HE IS WORTHY??  

HIS WORD says in Exodus 25:8 “And let them make ME a sanctuary, “THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST”.  But do I spend enough time with HIM to GAIN WISDOM!.  James 3:13-18 (ESV)

WISDOM from Above

Says “[13] Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of WISDOM. [14] But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, DO NOT boast and be false to the TRUTH. [15] THIS IS NOT THE WISDOM THAT COMES DOWN FROM ABOVE, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. [16] For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, THERE WILL BE DISORDER and every vile practice. [17] BUT THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE IS FIRST PURE, THEN PEACEABLE, GENTLE, OPEN TO REASON, FULL OF MERCY AND GOOD FRUITS, IMPARTIAL AND SINCERE. [18] And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

Physical intellect, riches or capabilities WILL NOT have HIS WISDOM, without HIS BLESSING!! HE IS SAYING TO US “And let them make ME a sanctuary, “THAT I MAY DWELL IN THEIR MIDST”.  

HE DESIRES MY PRESENCE WITH HIM………. ON HIS TERMS!!!
