Today's reflection is anchored in Psalms 26:8, where the psalmist declares, "O Lord, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells." This verse sets the tone for our exploration of the longing for God's presence and the transformative power of being in His glory.
Psalms 26 expresses the psalmist's desire for God to examine and vindicate him. His commitment to walk in integrity and love for God's dwelling place reveals a heart that seeks the presence of the Almighty.
Mark 9:2-32 recounts the transfiguration of Jesus, where He is revealed in His glory alongside Moses and Elijah. The disciples witness this awe-inspiring event, confirming Jesus' divine identity and emphasizing the significance of being in the presence of God's glory.
In Exodus 39, the detailed craftsmanship of the priestly garments is completed according to God's instructions. These garments, designed for glory and beauty, symbolize the consecration of the priests for their holy service in the tabernacle.
Exodus 40 culminates in the setting up of the tabernacle, as Moses follows God's explicit instructions for its consecration. The cloud of God's glory covers the tabernacle, signifying His presence among His people.
As we reflect on these passages, let us echo the psalmist's love for God's dwelling place and the longing to be in His presence. The transfiguration of Jesus serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative impact of being in the glory of God. May we, like the priests in Exodus, consecrate ourselves for His service, and as we gather in His presence, may we experience the radiance of His glory, finding renewal and strength for our journey of faith.
