We Don't Need Another Ark

Scripture

Jeremiah 3:16 “And when your land is once more filled with people,” says the Lord, “you will no longer wish for ‘the good old days’ when you possessed the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant. You will not miss those days or even remember them, and there will be no need to rebuild the Ark.

Observation
The need to remember the good old days will begone because the present is better than the past. Also, there will be no need to rebuild something that represents the power and presence of God, for the power and presence of God will be among the people. God among them.

Application
As fascinating as all the old testament tabernacle was, it was only a sybol/a type of things to come. Indiana Jones would be saddened to hear we don't need the ark, we need the Lord. I need to be careful to make sure I am not looking back to what was, or attempting to rebuild a symbol of God's presence or power, but instead live in an awareness of His presence and a demonstration of His power.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for this great scripture. Please help me to look forward, to enjoy Your power and presence today.
