You Are It

Warriors Arise: March 10, 2023

1 Chronicles 16:1-4 (NKJV) So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. 3 Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. 4 And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel


I would have been one of those that showed up at Obed Edom's house to watch and be a part of the processional. I would have been praying too. Because of what happen to Uzzah the first time, I would have been praying this time would be different. I would have been praying David had all the instructions necessary for everyone's safety. I would have been praying the priests were properly sanctified and for no one to touch the ark of God. I probably would have been just as excited as David, about to burst out of my skin with each step. I am not sure it was as much about the ark of God going to the city of David, as it was about the ark of God returning home, returning to the tent. The tent was the ark of God's home on earth. The tent was designed for the ark of God.

Today, God desires be placed in our lives. You are it. You are His place to live. You are the tent in which He desires to reside. From the time He dreams of us in heaven, until we receive His Son as our Savior and Lord, God is waiting to be brought home, to be established within our heart, our mind, our body, and our spirit, to be aligned with Holy Spirit. We are the tent God wants His Holy Spirit to reside.

How many of us see God in someone else's life, the ark of God was at Obed Edom's and he was being blessed. We want want they have, what he had. We are to be God's place of rest here on Earth. We are to be God's place of joy and strength. We are to be God's house of blessings.

How many of us want what another Christian has? We want what God is doing in their life to be in ours. What is the difference? We have to ask ourselves, do I have what they have? Am I blessed like they are blessed? Is God fighting my battles like He is fighting theirs? If not, then we need to ask ourselves, "Why not?" We are this side of the cross. God does not reside in a single tent, the Holy Spirit resides in all who are God's children. Scripture clearly tells us not to quench the Holy Spirit. When we do, we miss out on what God has for us: the blessings, provision, protection, wisdom, knowledge, and abundance. We need an unquenched the Holy Spirit and allow Him to lead in our lives. We need to allow Him to convict us of our unrighteousness. We need to be willing to take a deep look at ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal things that we don't want to see. We need to allow Him to guide us exactly where God wants us to be. When we go to God and receive Jesus as our Savior and Lord, then we ask for Holy Spirit and God will give Him to us. When we are saved, we do not have to go get anything like David did. However, we may have to learn how to receive, listen, and follow the leading of Holy Spirit.

I hope you know how special you are. God's love pours out from heaven upon you. He are the "it", He is waiting for. You are the tent in which He desires to reside. He longs to be welcomed into your heart and guide your mind in the truth of His love. He desires to see you become everything He dreamed you would be. You are invaluable to HIm.


Father, it is difficult to comprehend Your love for me. I praise You for You have chosen the weak to display Your strength. I have seen You operate in my own life. Thank You for not leaving me in my sin. Thank You for rescuing me from disaster. Thank You for making a way out. You are incredible in all of Your ways. I receive Your Holy Spirit. I position myself before You to know Your love and wisdom. I do not understand why You have chosen me but Your love is overwhelming. Your Spirit guides me and leads me in all truth. I am Yours. I receive Your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus' amen.
