Unclouding The Glory

Friday, December 9, 2022

Anan Ha Ketoret, the Cloud of Incense, appeared on the holiest day of the year - Yom Kippur. In ancient times, the High Priest of Israel was allowed to enter into the Holy of Holies once a year, but he had to do it with the incense. The glory of God was too much to behold, so the High Priest had to cloud it up with the incense. The New Covenant has no Cloud of Incense, just the glory. We as New Covenant believers, tend to make our own cloud of incense because we're afraid of the glory. We, cloud up the word with compromise. We blur the lines of what God said. "Did God really say that? Well it's not for today, or for me." What we're doing is forming a cloud. The problem with the cloud is that as long as you live in it, you'll never see the glory of God or know the glory of the glorious life He has for you. Be done with compromise. Take God at His word. Go all out with it. Then you'll live a glorious life... with no clouds in sight.
