“What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. … And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:16,18 (ESV)
There are times when the concerns of the day press on us and we feel lost or left alone. Let us never forget that our great God of the universe has promised to be our Father and to make us His sons and daughters. God has a great desire to be with His creation. This promise has been given more than once in the Old Testament including today's verse. We have the record of how God began with Adam and Eve. We remember God kept in close touch with them in the Garden of Eden. The Bible reminds us how greatly God desires to be a part of our lives and our experience. Verst 17, which Is between our verses today God commands us to be separate from those who follow idolatry by clinging to the attractions of this sinful world. He wants to live with us day by day and He wants us to open up to Him and to trust his promises. Yes, God Almighty, the Lord of the universe looks for us and instructs us to avoid association with the devil. God seeks to share himself with us.
