I’m not sure that I’ve experienced consistent holy places. Holy moments have happened in hospital rooms, in a coffee shop with a friend, in a prison while visiting someone, or in a counseling office. A holy moment even Halle we in a prayer call via zoom. Perhaps that is called a holy space for sure. Perhaps those moments have been glimpses into what Moses experiences or what Stephen was saying in his sermon. It’s mind blowing that the Creator God humbles Himself to live in a tent among the He dews, in a tabernacle where the priests entered, or in the temple built by Solomon. But the Spirit resides in us after we have experienced the resurrection miracle in our hearts.
“The "show business," which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from Our Lord's conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.” - Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest
