It’s funny how the outside of people’s houses tells you something about the inside. Some homes flicker with the warmth of a fire and a family; others look cold and uncared for. Some houses look like the owners are doing everything they can to keep the world on the outside, others are a bit more welcoming.
In Psalm 93, the writer tells us that God decorates (adorns) his house with holiness. The idea is that you get an idea of what the indoors is like from the outdoors - it’s holy because He is holy.
But it’s not just the temple, or the church building! Of course, as believers, you and I are God’s house too. He dwells in us. That means that His desire is for us to be decorated, adorned with holiness on the outside, to give the world a view of what He is like on the inside.
We’re supposed to be beacons of light that welcome the world in to an amazing relationship with our Holy God.
Today, think about your ‘decorations’: what you do, what you say, how you react to things. What message are you showing about who you are? Your decorations might already be telling a story. Ask God to help you show the world what He is like.
