July 23, 2010 God's Glory in You?

July 23, 2010
Read Ezekiel 9 - 10

Ezek 10:4-5 The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the LORD. 5 The sound of the wings of the cherubim could be heard as far away as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.

HERE’S SOMETHING we haven’t seen since Moses went to meet God. Amid the turmoil and rubble of God’s broken nation, God shows his glory to Ezekiel.

God’s glory is difficult to imagine. The form and features are described. But can you really imagine the purity of the cherubim as they worship? Can you truly see the complexity of creatures with wings, hands, and wheels?

It is strange and marvelous. The glory of the LORD is beyond our comprehension. But get this: God’s Glory awaits all who call him Lord and obey his commands. God gave Ezekiel this special vision to strengthen him and to weaken him. Ezekiel was strengthened to know he worshiped such a God. He was weakened to know he was utterly powerless to do anything but obey such a God.

God’s glory has come through his Son Jesus and through his Spirit into you. God’s glory is yours when you trust his power and obey his commands.

What a marvelous, loving gift for you. Rejoice in this today. Be glad the mighty God guides your life.
