God Opens Up So We Can Have Relationship

Exodus 40:34-35
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.


The people of Israel had finished building the tabernacle that the Lord and Moses had instructed them. They put it all together and suddenly the Lord came as a cloud and filled it.

Imagine this awe struck scene, as everything is put into place, and the thickness of God's glory as seen as a cloud, comes and covers everything. I would think that God's presence is so dense, that you can't enter it. This God scene is related to the Old Testament and that of the hidden curtain. As Jesus came and died and rose again, we are open up to our relationship to God through Christ Jesus, and now he does not need to come as a think cloud that we can't see through, but as the Holy Spirit as something we can relate to and communicate to.

Father God, Abba Father, You are the Holy and anointed one. You blessed and are blessed and be blessed. I pray that Your glory be known and be shown through all the people. I pray that You be lifted up High. Let your glory not be so dense like the cloud that can't be seen through, but through the glory of Christ Jesus that is so magnificent and glorious, that we are able to commune with You. Thank you so much for how much you love me. I give you all the glory in Your mighty name.
Amen.
