Devotions With Daryl

Worshiping God

Exodus 25:1-2

Children want to know where God is.

Honestly adults have trouble answering that questions also.

He is bigger than everything, yet the Bible usually speaks of God dwelling, acting and speaking with humanity in a single location because of our limitations to time and space.

I can be here now and somewhere else later, but God is always in both places simultaneously.

Eventually God sent Jesus as a baby in a manger, a sacrifice on the cross, and a victor over the grave.

Ultimately, though He did not come simply to dwell with us, but to prepare us to dwell with Him.

Leviticus 19:9-10

As parents, we are always pleased when we see our children imitate our strengths. When they show us our weakness we have the opposite reactions. Realistically we have no concept of the influence that we have over our kids.

Consider that God does not shape His children without their consent. He does everything possible to reproduce His holy character in us, but we still fall short because of sin.

Thankfully we know that He will succeed in time. Until the He teaches us how to follow the example He has set.
