Today's Reading: Ezekiel 10
Imagine God's glory like a dazzling and immersive
light show display. It is a multisensory experience that can evoke a range of
emotions and sensations. As you stand amidst the spectacle, you are enveloped
in a vibrant tapestry of colors, shapes, and patterns. The lights dance across
your skin, creating a dynamic interplay between light and shadow. The air
around you seems to vibrate with energy as the pulsating beats of the music
synchronize with the flashing lights. It's not just about the colors and
lights, but the overwhelming sense of wonder and awe it creates.
That's what God's glory is like - a breathtaking,
powerful display of His amazing character. It's like seeing the brightest, most
beautiful sunrise and feeling completely amazed by its splendor.
When God's glory first filled the Temple in Jerusalem
during Solomon's dedication of the Temple, it was like bringing heaven to
earth. 2 Chronicles 5 describes how "the house of the LORD was filled with
a cloud, because the priests could not minister before the LORD because of the
cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God." It was a
tangible sign of God's presence and His commitment to His people. It was as if
the whole place was vibrating with God's love and power.
But, just like a light show can fade away, so too can
God's glory. When people disobey God and turn away from Him, it's like casting
a shadow over His brilliance. Here in chapter 10, Ezekiel tells us a sad story
about God's glory departing from the Temple in Jerusalem because of the people's
disobedience.
That's why it's so important to live a life that
invites God's glory to stay. We need to be like magnets, drawing His amazing
presence into our hearts and lives. By choosing to obey God and follow His
ways, we create a space where His glory can shine brightly. It's like being a
living temple, a place where God's beauty and power are on full display.
