In His Presence

"The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it. 21 Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark. 22 I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel." Exodus 25:20-22

As I read this scripture yesterday it really jumped out to me and I knew God was wanting to speak to me through it. I did some study on it today and it is amazing to me.

The Ark of the Covenant is the representation of God's presence in the old testament. He tells us in this passage that from this place He will give us His commands. That He will meet us here and talk to us. The covenant here was represented by the laws written on stone tablets, today our covenant is represented in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

When we walk into the throne room of God, when we set aside time to be in His presence He covers us with the shadow of His wings. We come boldly before His throne in our times of need because of the blood of Jesus, not because of anything we have done, and when we walk into that Secret Place with Him He will speak to us. He will show us the paths to take. He will speak things for us to carry to those around us. He will meet you in the Secret Place and show you great things that you do not know.

If you are needing God to speak to you today, if you are needing direction, healing, encouragement, whatever it may be, step into His presence. Take time to meet Him in the Secret Place where you are covered by His wings. Don't think you have to be good enough to get His attention, because you walk in boldly covered by the covenant blood of Jesus Christ!
