Today: [2 Chronicles Five] The Ark of God at Rest in Us. In this chapter the temple is dedicated. All of Israel gathers to the newly built temple and witnesses the ark of the covenant brought to it’s permanent resting place. The presence of God has moved from tent to temple. The staves used to transport it are removed for the last time and a holy cloud of glory fills the courts of God with a holy hush. This is the same glory that Paul speaks of as “Christ in you the hope of Glory”. This holy moment a 1000 years before Christ was a portent of the day that we as temples of God in our bodies would become the dwelling place of God on the earth.
