Israel had been invaded and overrun. The enemy had entered the sanctuary and destroyed it.
“All this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary. Your foes roared in the place where you met with us.”
Has the place where you used to meet with God been destroyed; so much so that you can look back on years since the time you met with Him regularly?
Maybe you just find it hard, currently, to maintain that meeting place. Distractions are by design. It is the most strategic place that our enemy can hit.
Lord help us all to guard our sanctuary; so that our enemy will not be able to occupy and “roar in the place you met with us”.
Thank you for this timely word! Blessings and faith!
