This week\u2019s passage is 1 Kings 8:1-21. Summary of 1 Kings 4-7 to set the context. All the people of Israel are brought together for this time. In chapter 3 Solomon went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices as everyone else but David was doing, when in Deuteronomy it says everyone should gather at a place of worship God chose. Now they are all worshiping God in the place God chose. God\u2019s presence came in a thick cloud, so thick that the priests could not continue their priestly duties. The weightiness of God\u2019s presence requires your attention. God\u2019s presence dwelling with people was always part of the plan and after the fall God works to bring us back. Now God dwells with us individually, and we are living stones of a spiritual temple. The special moment when we stand in victory as God\u2019s word is fulfilled. We can look forward to God\u2019s promises to be fulfilled as it says in Revelation 21:3.
