2 Chronicles 5:7 Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim.
Places matter. We worship a God who is beyond place and time, who is not bound to place and time. But places matter. There are special places in our lives matter because of the associations. The site of a first date, the place where our children were born, the home in which we grew up. These places matter. They matter because of the way we've encountered God and God's people there.
God knows that places matter, and so God blesses places. God, who is beyond place and time, enters place and time in certain ways. In ancient Israel it was the ark of the covenant and the tabernacle. This was a special place set aside where people would know God's presence with them. Because places matter. Where is your special place?
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
