Deuteronomy 16:1-8 At the Place where the Lord Will Choose


Observation: God lays out rules for Passover observance. It's interesting that the Lord does not specify a specific kind of temple or tent where this all will happen for all time, but only says, "at the place that the Lord will choose as a dwelling for his name." God won't be tied down. Passover happens wherever God chooses.

Application: Sometimes we too get tied down to particular locations when it comes to experiencing God's presence. We can only imagine God showing up in particular ways, on particular days. God has flouted our expectations before. If we keep our eyes and ears open, we may be ready when God chooses to show up in a different way.

Prayer: God, thanks for choosing special places in our lives for us to know you're with us. Help us be ready to welcome you wherever you choose to dwell. Amen.
