Exodus 39-40; Psalm 15; Acts 12

Exodus 40:35

And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.


I'm certain this isn't what it means when it says the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. But reading this just made this thought enter my mind so bear with me. Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle because God's presence filled it.

As a Christian, God's dwelling, the place where His Spirit resides, is in me. If He fills me, I cannot enter because there is not room. I must be emptied of myself, my own desires, my own pride, my selfishness. For how can God fill me if I haven't made room for Him?
