God’s Glory

Ex 40:33 – Lev 1:6

The cloud and the fire of God’s glory descend upon the tabernacle and tent of meeting.

What a strange moment. The children of Israel had these things made of gold, silver and other materials – which were valuable but ordinary, which they donate for the construction of the tabernacle. And now that very same material has become a part of the dwelling place of God.

That which once hung on the ears or wrists of a young woman, was now a part of the ark of the covenant. Ordinary material has become extraordinary. Holy.

Did she say to herself, “The thing I once touched every day and thought little of it, now is beyond my touch and is vested with glory. It has become part of the throne of God.”?

We rise. This ordinary day of yours has all this possibility.
