Have you ever heard it said, “everything that glitters is not gold?” I
painted a rock gold today. I painted another rock silver. They looked
rich. They were not. But, still the thought of something gold stimulates
my mind to think of riches and wealth. What makes gold so valuable?
Gold shines always and never tarnishes. Gold coins found on the ocean
floor have fallen out on the decks of ships, bright and shining as the day
they were minted. The inside of the Holy of Holies was covered with
sheets of pure gold. Thus, gold symbolizes the glorious heaviness of
God’s presence.
If you are a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, according to the word
of God, you are a temple of the Holy Spirit (1Corinthians 3:16). The
Spirit of God dwells in His temple. If the inside of the temple of God is
pure gold, then the glorious heaviness of the presence of God is in the
believer just waiting to shine forth. So, believer, open your door and
the glory of God will shine out of you.
