The Glory and The Details

Tuesday, December 27, 2022

A movie had a famous line that said, "If you build it, they will come." And there's something biblical about this. In the Bible, God told His people to build the Tabernacle. He gave exact instructions. So they built it exactly as God said. Then He came; the glory of God came. In the Book of Kings, they built the Temple according to exact instructions, and the glory of God came and so filled the Temple that they had to get out. Ezekiel also describes how the temple was built to exact specifications and then speaks about the glory of God coming. When the disciples obeyed the Lord's instructions to tarry in Jerusalem, the glory came as a rushing mighty wind. If God's people hadn't done it the way God said, the glory wouldn't have come. He wouldn't have come. The point is this: obey God and do exactly what He says. Follow God to the best of your ability, mind, heart and strength, and He will come. The blessings will come, the victory will come, the Spirit will come, and the glory will come. If you do exactly what He says, He will come.
