#soap # Ezekiel 41 ## Title: God’s House is Open For Business ## Scripture: (Ezekiel 41:23-24) “The outer sanctuary and the inner sanctuary each had a double door. Each of the doors had two leaves, two swinging leaves; two leaves for one door and two leaves for the other.” (NET) ## Observation: In this chapter, Ezekiel is measuring the House of God. This would have been such a blessing because the Temple had recently been destroyed. God is already showing Ezekiel how His new house would look and it is massive. I love how it says His Most Holy Place would have double doorways. Before, the Most Holy Place was separated from the people with only one person (the High Priest) who had access to God’s presence once a year. However, in this passage, it says there are double doors that swing both ways. There is easy access in and out. I wonder how we would walk through life if we realized that, because of Jesus, we have access to God’s presence. There is nothing that separates us from His presence and His goodness. The only barrier is our willingness to enter in. ## Application: Take time today to be in the presence of God. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for welcoming us into Your presence.
