SPECIAL PLACE
Today's reading: Numbers 5-8

"On the day Moses set up the Tabernacle, he anointed it and set it apart as holy, along with all its furnishings and the altar with its utensils." Numbers 7:1 NLT

A special place.

An anointed place.

A holy place.

A place where God resided and the children of Israel could step into His presence.

A church. A church?

Or do we hold our 'houses of God' in the same light? Are they set apart and holy? Are we intrigued by the Spirit it houses as we step inside its doors? Are we preparing ourselves to sit upon its pews, serve in its classrooms or worship in its Holy of Holies?

Is there a sense of awe? Are our children taught its significance? Are we humbled to gather in its walls?

Or is it just a building, a meeting place, a community center, when it should be set apart and holy?
