Deuteronomy 31:26. “Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.” DO IT GOD’S WAY. “It’s time to move”, the priests move in With fear and trembling lest they die. They move with baited breath and eye, As they move toward where God doth lie In Holy Splendor, Awesome Truth, Dwells with men.
The covering veil that hung between Is first to fall on seraph’s wings. Then over that, the badger skins, Which thickly guarded all within; That Ark so fearsome, the Place where God, Dwells with men.
Then hands so wet with nervous sweat, Reach out to covering of heavenly blue, With careful folds each golden hue Is covered, lest wrong eyes would view, Which only high priest can see, where God, Dwells with men.
But what is this? A thick rolled scroll, Wrapped so carefully is placed Beside the Holy Ark that graced The Holiest of all in light, that space Reserved for God alone, who truly Dwells with men.
With careful hand, and faith-filled heart, The man whom God saw face to face; Sat down, the law to fully trace, That from now on in every place, Where those who love the Lord, will know, God Dwells with men.
That Word of God so true and full of light; Is placed where all men know God lives. That place where saving blood spots seen, is
Shared with words from God’s own lips; Those words which guide the sons to come, God Dwells with men.
“O great and holy Covenant keeping God: Help me this day to learn more fully the importance of, and awesome truth contained in Thy Word. There probably is no way to impart to others the sense of responsibility to pass on truth to my generation unless they read it for themselves. Is there some way, Father, that I have not yet found, to make more clear, more real, the high estimation with which You hold Your Word? My words and expressions seem so weak and feeble when I seek to pass on what I have found in this Treasure. Do my lips need to be touched with a coal from off the altar? If so, burn them soon so the scar of holy anointing can be evident to all who hear “this book of the law.” In the name of Him who is the Truth. Amen.”
