Continuing the thought that in the present age the people of God, the church is the temple of God I am reminded to meditate on the Lord God’s unfailing love. The quiet of the morning is a time I have set aside to contemplate the past day and pray to be in his will in the new day. I have slipped from the steps I take during meditation; ask God through the Spirit to guide my thoughts, experience his presence, meditate on his love, his righteousness as displayed in the past twenty-four hours, and his judgment and his leading throughout the past day. This I do after BDBD.
The Israelites went to the temple in Jerusalem to meditate on his unfailing love. Now, with the Spirit of God within I do not need a building. Now, I need a time set assigned and the willingness to commune with God. As David wrote in 26:3, “for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth.” And Psalm 113:3 says, “From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.”
