\nThe arc of the covenant was small. It carried the stone tablets with God\u2019s commandments and Aaron\u2019s rod which had grown and blossomed. To me, the items represent God\u2019s covenant of unlimited mercy for all who will trust Him. Mercy, love, the fear of God, and wisdom or skilled living are some of the fruits of God\u2019s infinite mercy in our lives. <\/p>\n
Exodus 25:17
\nThe Message (MSG)
\n10 \u201cFirst let them make a Chest using acacia wood: make it three and three-quarters feet long and two and one-quarter feet wide and deep\u2026..17 \u201cNow make a lid of pure gold for the Chest, an Atonement-Cover, three and three-quarters feet long and two and one-quarter feet wide.
\nPsalm 36:5
\nThe Message (MSG)
\n5-6 God\u2019s love is meteoric,
\n his loyalty astronomic,
\nHis purpose titanic,
\n his verdicts oceanic.
\nYet in his largeness
\n nothing gets lost;
\nNot a man, not a mouse,
\n slips through the cracks.
\nProverbs 8:13
\nThe Message (MSG)
\n12-13 \u201cI am Lady Wisdom, and I live next to Sanity;
\n Knowledge and Discretion live just down the street.
\nThe Fear-of-GOD means hating Evil,
\n whose ways I hate with a passion\u2014
\n pride and arrogance and crooked talk.
\nProverbs 9:10
\nThe Message (MSG)
\nSkilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-GOD,
\n insight into life from knowing a Holy God.<\/p>\n
