I Chronicles 25:9 - 24 men are part of this remnant and they are needed to worship God in the temple. Each had 12 sons and brothers. Amazing plan. Fast Forward. Each of us is part of that chosen remant today. Part of God's Plan A. Romans 11:5 - a "chosen remnant of grace" for this moment to worship our God. Repentant Worship! " I Chronicles 22:1 shows this restored community that everything, even their failures, points them to the priority of putting Me first in their lives. My Son made that possible. He is your ticket to the party. You will enjoy that hope only in the temple." 66 LL. And where is the Temple today? I Cor. 6:19-20 says our body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Not our own! Bought with a price! Therefore glorify God and worship Him alone~
"When you feel empty tomorrow, when life's troubles and disappointments continue, you will be tempted to devote more energy to making your life better than to drawing closer to Me. It is not easy to practice the priority of rebuilding the temple over rebuilding your life. And it's difficult even to know when you're violating it." So, what captures my energy this Mother's Day? Am I trying to make my life better or more concerned about drawing near to God?
I've been extremely congnizant/sorrowful of the destruction I've allowed to my temple/body. It is a season of rebuilding and sorting through those feelings that allowed the invasion in the first place. I've grieved the Holy Spirit before in my life to the point of not having a heart soft enough to hear Him or sense His presence, and I don't want that to ever happen again.I am thankful for His forgiveness and mercy and believe healing is waiting for me. He's so worthy of our best.
