I finished Exodus today. In the last paragraph of the last chapter the "cloud" settled upon the tabernacle that they had built. We have no idea what it would be like if that is how we got to experience God - in a cloud. We experience Him through His love, His Holy Spirit, His grace, His promises, and some people... the rare few probably still experience Him in a tangible way.
Do you think if God was visible in a cloud that there would still be the debate on whether or not He existed? Would there still be the skeptics out there? I think we THINK that if God was tangible everyone would believe.... but I think we are WRONG! Those will see what they want to see... and if they do no want to see GOD ... a cloud is not going to change their minds.
All in All... I am so thankful for the time we live in, I am thankful that God hears me, and knows me, and sees me. And I have a direct line of communication with him (with out putting on royal clothes and lathering myself in Muir!)
Yesterday I asked myself if I had built any Altars in my life while waiting for the Lord. It was very relevant to me because my family is in a time of waiting right now.
I think there are two things in my life that need to get brought down - altars that I have built while waiting. I think I built an altar to Money... that it is MONEY that will fix things - when it isn't, it is God. Also I think there is an altar of Pride - Pride is a horrible thing, and I think that was built in my life as one thing to hold on to. I am praying through this, and asking for forgiveness. The only Altar I want is the one to Jesus Christ!!!
Thanks friends for Prayers - Reading - and Love!
