2 Kings 21:7 And the carved image of Asherah that he had made he set in the house of which the Lord said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever.
Hebrews 3:2…just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of ahouse has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.
As children of God, the Lord has put His name in us for all time. He makes His abode with us, He abides with us for the sake of Jesus. How shamefully I have treated the habitation of His holiness. I let others plunder the vessel which should bring Him honor. I squander His gifts on fruitless endeavors. I intentionally choose evil over goodness. For His name’s sake is the only reason I still can take my next breath and offer it to Him. Thank God for his lovingkindness, mercy, faithfulness, grace, goodness, longsuffering. May my purposes only be to share the righteousness, peace and joy of the truth, glory, and salvation of God!
