Seed for Aug 12

Ps 122:1
1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
(KJV)

David, a man after God’s own heart, desired sweet fellowship with the Lord and longed to be in His presence. The Lord has always desired to be in sweet fellowship with man. The Lord walked with Adam in the garden, and they had sweet fellowship. But sin broke that fellowship. Then, the Lord’s plan was to allow Israel to live on all sides of the Tabernacle (His presence), because of the blood of the sacrificed lamb. 12 tribes of Israel camped 3 on each of the 4 side of the Tabernacle (His presence). This signifying, God’s presence dwells in the middle of His people. Then the plan further evolved to, the Spirit of the Lord making Himself a body and dwelling with mankind, and He was called Emmanuel, God with us. But the ultimate plan was for God to not just to be with us, but dwell in us. After Calvary, sin debt paid, the way was made for God to dwell inside His people, and now we have become the “house” of the Lord. No longer do we have to go somewhere to be in His presence. He does not live in houses made by men’s hands. He does not dwell in church building, but in His people. Thus, where ever 2-3 or gathered in His name, there He is. Not only is He in me, but when I join with more of His body, there He is in the midst. So, let me ask….is it a joy for you to live in the presence of the Lord? Do you long for sweet fellowship with Him in His body? Be blessed.
