God Shall Choose

Deuteronomy 12:5  

"But unto the place which the LORD your God shall 

choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, 

even unto his habitation shall ye seek, 

and thither thou shalt come:

    To put His name there. That is, to set up His worship there, and which He shall call by His name, as His house, or His dwelling place; namely, where the ark should be, the tabernacle, or temple: which was first Shiloh, and then Jerusalem. And how significant is, that appointment? They must keep to one place, in token of their belief. That there is one God, and one Mediator between God and man. It not only served to keep up the notion of the unity of the Godhead, but the one only way of approach to God and communion with Him in and by His son.

    We as Christians are lead by the Holy Spirit to to the place of worship were God want's us to attend; "if " our heart is where it should be, and we seek guidance from the "Holy Spirit." Throughout, Deuteronomy Chap. 12, God lay's out His statutes and judgments which Israel was to observe.  
    He concludes (Deut.12:32) with the same caution concerning the worship of God which He had before given concerning the word of God, in Deut.4:2  "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."  We may then hope in our religious worship to obtain the divine acceptance when we observe the divine appointment. God will have His own work done in His own way. 
Amen!
