PJP2 PROLOG 160207 PROLOG Focus Exodus 40:34-38....

Deuteronomy 32:3 (NIV/emphasis added/jaj)...."I Will Proclaim The Name of The Lord.  Oh, Praise The Greatness of our God!"....

PJP2 PROLOG POST 160207 Exodus 40:34-38 (ESV/emphasis added/jaj)...."Then The Cloud Covered The Tent of Meeting, and The Glory of The Lord Filled The Tabernacle.  And Moses was not able to enter The Tent of Meeting Because The Cloud Settled on It, And The Glory of The Lord Filled The Tabernacle.  Throughout All their Journeys, Whenever The Cloud was Taken Up from over The Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.  BUT IF The Cloud was Not Taken Up, Then they did Not set out until The Day that It Was Taken Up.  For The Cloud of The Lord Was On The Tabernacle by Day, And Fire was In It By Night, In The Sight of All the house of Israel Throughout All their Journeys."....

What a great Picture to close out God's Inspired Word to Moses via His Story of The Exodus of His children of Israel.  As I read Exodus 40:34-38, The Holy Spirit Helps me have a mental image of God's Cloud lowering over The Tent of Meeting/The Tabernacle, and God's Amazing/Phenomenal Glory Appearing to Moses and The Assembly as Pure Holy Light.  Wow!  Then, as I'm setting here Pondering, I am Hearing The Holy Spirit Mention from my own Memories, Times that God's Glory has similarly been Revealed.  There are many for certain.  Suffice to say I am so Very Thankful and Encouraged that our Lord Jesus' Love for us is so Overwhelming, that indeed, there are times when, like Moses, God's Presence is such that we too are Challenged to be able to Enter His Presence due to His Amazing Grace and Love Flowing all around us.

So, here's my Prayer for us today - A Paraphrase of Prayer and Praise based on Exodus 40:34-38 (ESV/emphasis and paraphrase added/jaj)....O Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God, Thank You for Your Holy Word,  Lord Jesus, Just Like when Your  Cloud Covered Israel's Tent of Meeting, Please Cover us.  Holy Spirit, as Your Glory Filled The Tabernacle, we would Pray that You Fill us also.  Father God, as Moses found he was not able to enter The Tent of Meeting Because of Your Presence, May we Remember that You Are Within us, and we too Bow Before Your Holiness.  Lord Jesus, throughout All our Journeys in this Life, May we Ever Be Aware of You.  Open our Eyes, Holy Spirit, that Whenever You, our Cloud of God, is Taken Up from our Path, Encourage and Empower us to set out and Follow You.  BUT, Lord Jesus, If You are Guiding us to Stand Fast and Wait for You, Then Help us to be Aware that Your Cloud of Presence has Not been 'Taken Up', and we are Not to 'set out' until The Day that You Guide us to go.  Father God, Thank You that Still Today You Are Placing Your Presence and Glory Over us, both by Day and by Night.  Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father God we Thank You for Your Love, Mercy and Grace.  We Lift Up our Prayers in Your Precious and Holy Name.....Amen/Amen....jaj

Blessings ever be upon you and yours/jaj
