—2 Chronicles 5:2-7
by: Trisha Gerstel.
The Ark containing the testimony of the Lord (Exodus 25:16) served as a reminder of God’s presence among His people. It was, in essence, a portable temple where God resided. It is not difficult, then, to understand why King Solomon and the leaders of the tribes of Israel were so particular about their actions surrounding the Ark’s placement in God’s Temple. Solomon and the others were keenly aware of the blessing of being in God’s presence. It certainly is a good reminder and motivator for us to daily be in awe of His Holy Spirit, who lives in our hearts (2 Corinthians 1:22).
