A Little Piece of Heaven

READ: Exodus 25:1-9

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1 Corinthians 3:16

A couple of weeks ago my wife met a woman who needed a ride. She sensed that this could be from God, so she agreed to take her to her destination. During the ride, the woman revealed to my wife that she was a believer but she struggled with drug addiction. My wife listened to and talked with this hurting woman. As she gave her hope for a better tomorrow, I believe that the woman experienced in some small way a little piece of heaven on earth.

When God instructed Moses to build the tabernacle according to His specifications, it was so that Gods people would sense His presence. I like to think of it as a little piece of heaven on earth. The temple was a physical example of Gods presence on earth also (1 Kings 58).


The purpose of these holy places was for God to dwell among His people. This was Gods plan when Jesus, the perfect temple, tabernacled among us (John 1:14).

When Jesus ascended to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to indwell His followers (John 14:16-17), so that we would be Gods tabernacles and temples in the world (1 Cor. 3:16; 6:19). As Gods representatives of His presence, lets find ways to bring the peace and hope of heaven to others on earth. Marvin Williams

For Further Thought

Ask God to use you in the lives of others and to show you some ways to apply this devotional at work, in your home, and in your neighborhood.

A Christian who is willing to do little things for others can do great things for the Lord.

Pray Rosary with purity of intention, attention and fighting distractions - Teachings by St. Louis Marie de Montfort....Most Catholics say the Rosary, the whole fifteen mysteries or five of them anyway or, at least a few decades. So why is it then that so few of them give up their sins and go forward in the spiritual life? Surely it must be because they are not saying them as they should...Read more
