“Behold, he is coming in the clouds”
Revelation 1:7
“God often manifested Himself in an energized, blazing light called the Shekinah or Glory cloud. No one could see it fully and live so it had to be veiled, but when Christ returns the glory will be completely visible.” -MacArthur
How fitting that a day of clouds is followed by a morning devotion about God’s glory cloud. As the clouds rolled in yesterday and granted me some relief from the heat, they also covered the baseball field where Joe was pitching. Close your eyes and imagine God coming on those clouds.
Imagine Him present as Joe pitched and the batters hit home runs. Imagine God lending some of Himself to Joe, though we, and especially Joe, did not recognize it. Imagine God coming on those clouds to empower Joe to extend His mercy and grace through Joe’s weakness; through the opportunity for Joe to give out of his own need to others in need thereby meeting everyone’s need.
And finally, imagine, if God’s present glory can be veiled in the weakness of a struggling 12 year old pitcher, how, then, will He show it through your own?
