DROP IN OFTEN!

READING: DEUTERONOMY 16:1-6

Verse 2: “Therefore you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God, from the flock and the herd, in the place where the Lord chooses to put His name”

In this passage, the people of God were instructed to observe the Passover. They were told to do so in the place where the Lord chose to put His name, or where He chose to make His name abide. For the people of God in our time, that is a current instruction. This place could be a church building where His name has been placed and continues to abide. It could also be a person's private place of worship and prayer. Even better, they should both apply. However, no matter where we worship at a given time, it seems the important point is that the place be based on the Lord’s choice of location, and not our own. This choice should not follow the crowd, be automatic because of history, or occur by default. His word says to seek Him while He may be found and to call on Him while He is near. This is always best done in the place of His choice. He is there to receive us in a special way and invites us to drop in often. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.

RESPONSE

1. Where are the places where God has put His name for you?

2. Are you faithful to be found at those places or is this something that needs to be refreshed?
