During the wilderness wanderings there came a wonderful moment. God had instructed Moses to build a tabernacle in which he would dwell. Once the project was complete, the majestic cloud, which had hovered above them, descended from on high and entered the holy place. From that moment on every child of Israel could point to the tabernacle and say, “God is in there.”
Gesture to your heart and say, “God is in here.” On the day you decided to follow Jesus, an unseen miracle occurred. The Holy Spirit descended from the heavens, ever spinning until the moment the motion stopped directly over your body. He took up residence within you. He turned your heart into his tabernacle. “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” (1 Corinthians 3:16 NIV).
