Praise Yahweh, all you servants of Yahweh who minister by night in the house of Yahweh. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise Yahweh. May Yahweh bless you from Zion, he who is the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psalms 134:1-3 NIV
In our family discussion Sunday morning, we were talking about how Jesus is especially present when two or three are gathered in His name (ekklesia).
When I read Psalm 134 on Monday, it occurred to me that perhaps when we gather together in His name, it is like the overlapping electron valence and conduction bands in a metal material: Holy Spirit flows very easily among/through us.
Perhaps, as we mature in faith, individually, we grow from a semiconductor behavior (i.e., it takes more intentionality for us to allow Holy Spirit to flow through us) to a semimetal and eventually to a fully metallic state (i.e., Holy Spirit flows easily through us all day and every day).
Gathering together catalyzes that maturity process, incrementally shifting each of us towards greater freedom, as well as inducing a metastable superconductor state (i.e., Holy Spirit resonates among us) while we are in unity together.
Father, thank you for your loving work in transforming us into the likeness of your Son. Holy Spirit, thank you for your presence. Please help me have greater conductivity today. I love you.
