The ark is once again brought back to the centre of Israel's country. I was reading the fact that the only things left in the box were the two stone tablets of the law. What happened to Aarons rod and the manna that was put in before? Well if the rod represents testimony and the manna represents spiritual food, they were no longer there since the presence of God had been absent for so long, there was no testimony and no spiritual food but there was still the law!
Why is that important? Sometimes our walk is dry and hard, sometimes we have no spiritual food and no testimony and feel it is all going wrong but there is still the law! Is the law to make us realise how useless we are? Absolutely! It reminds us of a holy God who is perfect and requires a holiness in humans, something we are unable to achieve, it therefore leads us to fall on our knees and beg God for forgiveness and blessing. Amen!
