via IFTTT The glory of a holy God. Too great for man to fathom. When the glory of God comes to earth, things change. The creation is overwhelmed by the purity and power of the creator. Throughout history there is story after story of God's glory on Earth. Moses on the mountain, the completion of the Temple, the fire from heaven that consumes, the tongues of fire at Pentecost, the transfiguration of Jesus, and on and on. But, God is not a showman. Unlike Hollywood, God does not seek to entertain us with flashy shows and effects. In fact, it's not about us at all! It's about Him! As Jesus rode into Jerusalem here to begin the last chapter of conquering death and sin, the glory of God fell. People started crying out in praise and song. They were overcome with the call of God to recognize His glory. Jesus says that the same glory would make even the rocks cry out if man failed to. But our God prefers to touch our hearts than to put on a flashy show of rocks responding to His glory. His desire is to work through man, through you. This is a touching, motivating and critical message here. God could do it without you, but He wants to use you! Imagine being so overcome with the magnificence of God's glory that you can not keep silent. You can't be shy, can't hold back, you are compelled from within to cry out in God's presence. Imagine. Or better yet, LIVE IT! Wait before God, to see His glory. Moses did, and God granted it. It is very real, and very overwhelming. In God's glory all fear is gone. No darkness can survive. Everything not of God disappears in the light of His Majesty. Then go forth as the ambassador who has seen the King. Walk with confidence but no fear. Nothing can compare, nothing can stand against God's glory. Answer the call to walk in the glory of God. How sad if He had to bypass us, His children, and rely on rocks. He wants you! Be the light! Speak truth, seek holiness. Love.
