Mon.’s Devo - The Glory of the Lord

Read: 2 Chronicles 4:1-6:12; Romans 7:1-13; Psalm 17:1-15; Proverbs 19:22-23 The bronze altar Solomon had made was four times the size of the bronze altar they had for the tabernacle. The laver in the new Temple was huge and was used for the priests to bathe. Ten smaller basins were used to wash the utensils and set against the north and south walls. Ten gold lamp stands were placed above the lavers to light the room. Ten tables were also placed against the walls. *** The Ark was placed in the Most Holy Place and the priests led the people in worship. They sang, “He is good! His faithful love endures forever!”Immediately the cloud of God’s glory filled the Temple. Solomon addressed the people glorifying the Lord for all He had done. *** In Romans, Paul explains that if we are dead to ourselves and have come alive in Christ, then the law has no power over us to condemn us. The purpose of the law was to identify what sin is. The law in itself is holy and right. Satan has used the law to condemn us but Jesus came to set us free. *** Lord, may we walk in freedom and the power of the Holy Spirit. May we remember that the temple of God’s Spirit is within us.
