2 Chronicles 7:16

GOD SAYS:
“For I have chosen this Temple and set it apart to be holy-a place where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.”
(We too, are God’s Temple, and we too, are set apart to be holy. We are to honor God forever. God will watch over us because we are dear to his heart.)

The Rock…

1Peter 2:8-9

“He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them. But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
