Summary

The whole point of the temple was for God to be with his people, Israel. Today Emma Dotter is joined by today’s devo writer and Watermark Elder, Ben Caldwell. These friends challenge us that we don’t want to miss the hope that is found in this passage. God brings restoration knowing full well that his people would rebel. We need to long for intimacy with God more than any temporal thing.

Additional Scriptures used in this passage:

1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Proverbs 13:24, “A man who spares the rod hates his son…”

Hebrews 12:11, “For the moment of all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later is yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.”

0:24.0	Good morning, Emma. How are you doing?
0:25.3	Doing so well, Ben. Thank you for being here. It's fun to have you back.
0:29.1	Oh, excited to be here.
0:30.2	It's been a while. I think last time we recorded, we were in a closet. Like, the studio wasn't built yet? And now we're in the real studio.
0:38.4	And if any of our listeners have never been in a podcast studio, it's this eerie silence.

1:16.6	which is amazing.
