Finding your "Holy of Holies"

In the Bible, before Jesus died, the only way to voluntarily enter into the manifest glory of God, the Shekinah, was in the Temple in Jerusalem, in the House of God, known as the Holy of Holies.  Once a year, the high priest would come into the secret place of God and intercede on behalf of Israel.  When Jesus died, the veil to the temple was ripped, and God's presence was no longer confined.  Today, we can retreat into the presence of God anytime we seek Him.  It is important that we spend time in fellowship with Him to hear what He has to say.  The King of the Universe who lovingly helps everyone with their troubles everyday gives all the time you need to spend with Him, but sometimes we can't even give Him 10 minutes.  My newfound fervency in hanging out with Jesus has brought me to my own special temple at night, my garage has become my sanctuary, boxes and car parts are the adornments, my own little clear spot on the concrete is my pew, my poor singing voice is my choir, piano, and organ, the opening garage door is my benediction, and the Lord, my pastor.  As I come to him, throwing all of my distractions away before entering His sanctuary, and waiting until the light shuts off so that I am in complete darkness, keeping my eyes from wandering, but having them focussed on Him.  In my joy, I sing songs and hymns to Him, praying and anticipating an answer, enjoying the sweet feeling of His presence surrounding me.  When finished praying and singing, I, being renewed, open the door, not leaving His presence, but taking Him with me as I go on with my night.  Find your Holy of Holies, and spend the time you need with Him.  He loves us, and desperately desires to spend time with us.
