Morning by Morning, September 9, 2025 – The Glory of the Lord Fills the Temple of Our Hearts

 

Morning by Morning, September 9, 2025 – The Glory of the Lord Fills the Temple of Our Hearts


Good morning, Lord Jesus. Be at the heart of my life and all that I am, all that I say, all that I do (Colossians 3:3). ...


“Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, underneath the wings of the cherubim. For the cherubim spread out their wings over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark and its poles.... And when the priests came out of the holy place, a cloud filled the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord” (1 Kings 8:6-11).


The “ark of the covenant” in the tabernacle and the temple of the Old Covenant speaks of the Presence of the Lord in the earth. But now under the New Covenant we have with You in Christ, our hearts our Your tabernacle, our bodies are Your temple (1 Corinthians 6:19).


“The inner sanctuary of the house,” the “most holy place,” is where our human spirits embrace the communion of Your Holy Spirit—spirit to Spirit, heart to Heart, deep to Deep. We draw near to You and You draw near to us (James 4:8). We abide in You and You abide in us (John 15:4).


Just as the priests of the Old Covenant could not stand on their feet as the glory of the Presence of the Lord filled the temple, so no flesh of ours can stand in the manifest Presence of our holy God who fills the temple of our hearts with Your Holy Spirit. “In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him” (1 John 4:9). And “at the name of Jesus every knee must bow” (Philippians 2:10).


Come fill Your temple, Holy Spirit of God. Let Jesus be high and lifted up in my heart and life, now in this communion of prayer and throughout the moments of my day. Let the love of God my Father fill me up and flow through me with the power of the Presence of God that nothing in me that is not yet like You can stand but rather must bow. “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with (us) all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.


Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
