Thou art terrible out of thy holy places

Thou art terrible out of thy holy places.


John Francis


The Bible daily by disciple John

Psalm 68:35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Some people hold certain places in high esteem almost to the extent of treating them as holy places because of something that happened at that place years before. There are public shrines in this country the UK, that are visited by coach loads of people in the summer many looking for a religious experience.

I have met with God in most rooms at home, as well as walking in the countryside, frequently when driving my car to and from work. Glory to God He cannot and will not be contained in a box or a shrine. When our Lord Jesus spoke to the Samaritan lady at the well 
John 4:21-24 he said that the time had come when we will no longer worship God on a mountain or in Jerusalem because true worshippers will worship God in spirit and truth and God the Father is seeking that kind of worshipper.

How can we mention the Holy Spirit without referring to the power that comes from the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Yes, as it says in our text, God will give us power and strength, and this will come through the Holy Spirit.

Prayer: Thank you Heavenly Father for meeting with us where we are. We ask that we will continue to receive your guidance as we walk with you, that your kingdom come your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
