The Passage: Psalm 132

The One Thing: A song to lead you into God's presence

• Is God central in your life or is He on the shelf? How can you tell? 
• David vowed to build God a “house” (a temple). God said “no” (1 Chron. 28:2) and instead built David a “house” (a dynasty, a lineage). What does this tell us about the relationship between God and David? 
• Kiriath Jearim (“Jaar”) is only 15km from Jerusalem. What prevented the people bringing God (the Ark of the Covenant) home? Why was he sidelined here for 20 years? 

• When God came “home” to Jerusalem, David danced before God with “all his might” (2 Sam 6:14). Why did dance like this? And why did Michal (his wife) despise David in her heart (6:15)? What do we learn about David and Michal through this scene? Are you a David or a Michal? 
• Acts 7:48 tells us that God does not dwell in buildings – He is too “big”. Yet 1 Cor 6:19 tells us that WE are the temple of the Holy Spirit. What does this teach us about “us”...our “soul” - how can God “fit” in us?
