The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord as one. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other musical instruments, they began to sing, praising the Lord:
Yes, God is good!
Yes, God’s faithful love lasts forever!
Then a cloud filled the Lord’s temple. The priests were unable to carry out their duties on account of the cloud because the Lord’s glory filled God’s temple.
REVELATION 21:2, 23 (NLT)
I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven... And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
When we're living in the light of God's glory nothing more is needed.
DAILY FODDER
What makes you so aware of God's presence that you have to stop doing everything else?
PRAYER
Good and faithful God, when you reveal your presence everything comes to a stop — our sinful propensities, injustices, controversies, pontificating, even our feeble attempts at worship. Help me to let go of the non-necessities so I can bask in your presence and serve as a mirror of your light. I'm going to live an undistracted life in your eternal loving presence. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
