More of His Glory

 Scripture:

“Moses and Aaron then entered into the Meeting Tent. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Then fire went out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering and the fat parts on the altar, and all the people saw it, so they shouted loudly and fell down with their faces to the ground.” ‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

After Moses and Aaron did everything God had told them to do in preparing the sacrifices, the altar, the Tabernacle, etc. the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Then fire went out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offerings. The people couldn’t believe what they saw. They shouted and fell down on their faces when God really showed up. 

Application:

I love the presence of the Lord. I love it when He comes into a room with His incredible power and might. I love it when God manifests His presence where everyone sees it and knows it. I realize in these verses that it was great obedience that brought greater glory. After Moses and Aaron did everything they were supposed to do, God showed up in power. I want to see the Lord’s glory more and more. There is a stirring in my heart for more of God’s glory. I need to walk humbly before Him and walk in complete obedience, then He will manifest His glory more and more. I want to see Him face to face. I long for times when nobody can deny the presence of the Lord. 

Prayer:

Father, help me to be faithful to obey everything You tell me to do. Convict me where I need convicted. Change me where I need changed. Direct me clearly and I will do my best to follow You completely. Show me the way forward. I want to see Your glory. I long for Your presence. Come Holy Spirit and walk with me. Let me have an undivided heart.

Your Son,

Jeff
