Presence Driven 3

The Ark of the Covenant and the Altar of Sacrifice were never to be separated. God's presence was always represented as covering the Ark where His Word to His people was contained. We must not separate those two things in our walk as believers today. We must never treat what God has set apart as Holy in a common way or in a manipulative way - a "magic" formula to get results - on the contrary. The Lord desires obedience to His Word as well as sacrifice in worship.
