—Psalm 132:13-18
by: Paula Davis.
In David’s time, God chose to dwell in Zion. He desired it and promised to bless it and clothe it in salvation. At that time, it was helpful to have a specific physical location with which the people could associate God’s presence. When Jesus came, God became more personal. The physical location is no longer important. We do not need a priest to speak to God for us but have direct access to Him through Jesus Christ. His presence is always with us through the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. When we allow the Lord to dwell with us, He will bless us as well just as He did in Zion.
