The Lord throughout Scripture had made His presence known as dark cloud. This was true in Exodus as he led the people as a cloud by day and fire by night. When Moses went to see Him in the mount, He appeared as a cloud. The pattern was set so the acceptance and the dwelling of God in His temple was the culmination of the new nation of Israel and its home. Gone were the nomadic surroundings and ways - they truly settled in to Jerusalem. Solomon knew this and address the people with a brief history lesson and that the Lord is pleased since they saw the cloud at the temple. Still this was a spectacular sight and a once in a lifetime event. Wish I could have been there....
Long day yesterday since I didn't get out there until 6 PM. It was one of those days where you are doing a ton of things and never getting even or ahead. Still living to fight another day today. Decided to skip the gym today and workout tomorrow morning. May even go after work today for a quickie and skip tomorrow but I wanted to give my knee a rest - still not just right. Tomorrow will be a day of apartment cleaning and maybe some pool time if the weather holds out. I might even slip in a movie.
Prayers still for those who are in need and the fam down in FL. Also prayers for PAL and his family as they go to Asia for a month - for stamina and for spiritual refreshment and fulfillment.
Praise for today: Praise be to the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory, Amen and Amen. Psalm 72: 18-19
