Meeting God in His Temple

 


Psalm 65:4
"Blessed are those you choose
And bring near to live in your courts!
We are filled with the good things of you house,
Of your holy temple."

In these days we do not have a temple anymore, we have become the temple. But I was trying to think what David meant when he wrote about the 'good things we are filled with' that he would have found at the temple.
Here are just some that I think he could have meant, maybe you could add some:

God's presence
His righteousness and holiness
His justice
You could go to the temple, and walk away with a clean conscience.
The peace of God when you've offered your sacrifice and laid it all at His feet
Joy as David praised God
The companionship and belonging of being one of Abraham's children.

And these are some of the good things we are blessed with when we move into God's presence AND when we come together as His body.
