Where is God?

The secret of Worship

1 Chronicles 28:9-18“And you, my son Solomon,

acknowledge the God of your father,

and serve him with wholehearted devotion 

and with a willing mind,

for the LORD searches every heart 

and understands every motive

behind the thoughts.

If you seek him, he will be found by you;

but if you forsake him,

he will reject you forever.”

1 Chronicles 28:9-18

“Consider now,

for the LORD has chosen you

to build a temple as a sanctuary.

Be strong and do the work.” 

Then David gave his son Solomon

the plans … 

1 Chronicles 28:9-18

… He also gave him the plan

for the chariot, that is,

the cherubim of gold

that spread their wings

and shelter the ark

of the covenant of the LORD. 

Colossians 2:18-19

Do not let anyone who delights

in false humility and the worship of angels

disqualify you for the prize.

Colossians 2:18-19

Such a person goes into great detail about what he has seen, and his unspiritual mind puffs him up with idle notions.

Ezekiel 2:9-10

Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me.In it was a scroll, which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.

Ezekiel 3:1

And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel.”

Colossians 2:18-19

He has lost connection with the Head, 

Colossians 2:18-19

from whom the whole body, 

supported and held together

by its ligaments and sinews,

grows as God causes it to grow.

Ezekiel 8:6

“Son of man,

do you see what they are doing

--the utterly detestable things

the house of Israel is doing here,

things that will drive me

far from my sanctuary?”
