2 Chron. 5:13 The trumpeters and singers joined in unison, as with one voice, to give praise and thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, they raised their voices in praise to the Lord and sang: "He is good; his love endures forever." Then the temple of the Lord was filled with a cloud, 14 and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.
I can see it...I can feel it, with other rejoicers, alone on the roof deck (I renamed it the Star Deck this morning:). I can feel that 'becoming One' in the praise of the Lord. Brian put this verse up last time the Seven worship band played and I stuck it in my head. Then I got to watch it happen this morning. The 'little cat feet' clouds came gently in and my tabernacle had clouds for branches, through which I could see more than 3 stars, oh and one meteor! A window in my cloud roof framed the beautiful traveler perfectly.
But the best part of this passage is that amazing occurrence, 'the priests could not perform their services.' That temple was often filled with tons of smoke from burnt offerings and a cloud chases them off? My clouds this morning tasted so sweet and refreshing. I could see glory upon glory right through them. The priests weren't needed. The sacrifice of Praise was being given in Unity with the Spirit in Oneness of heart and our good, Lord whose 'Love endures forever' was glorifying His Name.
John 12:27-3627 ..... for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again."
Jesus came for this very hour...to make the services of the priests unnecessary, to fill our world-wide tabernacle with the glory of the Lord.Let's find time today to raise our voices, our shofars, our lives as instruments of Praise!
