Preparation for the Glory

 Scripture:

”Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the Lord appeared to the whole community. Fire blazed forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.“ ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

God gave very specific requirements to the priests and Levites about what offerings to present to Him and how to present them. When they did the requirement God had set up, He showed up! When they had done everything the Lord wanted them to do, His presence blazed like fire and consumed the offering. The people saw this, shouted with joy, and fell face down. They were in total amazement at the manifest presence of the Lord.

Application:

When we do things God’s way, we get God’s results. He is worthy of being followed in his way and not our own. When the Word tells us to do certain things, we must walk in it wholeheartedly. When we follow God’s ways, we can expect His presence and power in our lives. The supernatural happens when we do what is expected in the natural. When we do our part, God does His.

Prayer:

Father, I love this story and how You manifested Your glory among Your people. I long to see the supernatural things of God and to see people respond to Your glory. I want to see Your glory and for people to respond to Your presence. Teach me to walk in Your ways and to operate in and from Your presence. Teach me to hear Your voice and do exactly what You tell me to do. I want to please You and to work together with You for the extension of Your kingdom.

Yours,

Jeff
