Hosting the Presence

Ex 40:34-38

34 Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.
37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
NKJV

1 Cor 3:16

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
NKJV

My Comments:

God has always desired to be with His people. His Presence was with them in dwellings made with human hands but now, He dwells in us! His Presence makes the difference in our lives, and His Presence sets us free! We are carriers of His Presence, and where He is, there is freedom! Where He goes, we go; and where we go, He goes too! We are His temple, and He lives in us!
