"The Glory of the Lord"

I was reading this morning in 2 Chronicles, Chapter 5. The last two verses say: "And when the trumpeters and singers were joined in unison, making one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and other instruments for song and praised the Lord saying, For He is good, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever, then the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud. So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God."
This recounts the story of King Solomon when he assembled the Israelites as they brought the ark into the temple. Rather than comment on this, I want to offer a prayer: Oh, God of David, of Solomon, of the saints throughout the ages, be as real to us as you were to the Israelites on that grand day. Show up in our hearts, in our homes, in our churches, in our world. Be so real that we fall on our faces and fill Your fleshly temples with Your mighty presence. Be a palable presence, one that we can see and feel. Come in on the wings of our praises to You. We need you this hour in our world and in our homes. We anxiously await Your mercy and manifested presence. Amen!
