2 Chr 5:11-14

After all of the planning, work and sacrifice has been done - the time is now set for the Lord to occupy the temple. All of the servants - priests, musicians and guards now gather to call upon the Lord and pray and welcome His coming. They were dressed in white linen as a bride meets her groom and singing"God is good. His love continues for all time." v 14 says it all:  The priests could not continue their work because of the cloud. And the LORD’s glory filled God’s temple.

There was a time to plan, a time to work and a time to gather and sing - this was truly a time to witness and be silent. I remember a chorus from a long time ago. "the Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the world be silent, be silent". When God is there, what can we say - nothing, what can we do - nothing, for who are we? Nothing compared to the glory of the Lord. I can only imagine Isaiah and what he felt in c 6.

Decent weekend, home alone and got stuff done on Sat around the house and had lunch with an old friend and caught up with each other. Sunday was good - had a great HS class and prayer time with the other elders/pastor and traffic out of NYC was better than I expected. Got down to Delly with some traffic but at a reasonable time and with a "prime-time" parking spot so I am grateful and thankful. Weird this week being off on Wed and staying down here but that will give me time to clean this place as it should be and maybe some pool time.

Prayers for the Rodgers family persists and for Nicole who banged her ankle up and will need surgery. Prayers also for PAL and his family as they head out to Asia for a month.

Praise for today:He is good, his love endures forever 2 Chronicles 5: 13
