Lord, Let Your Glory Fall

Numbers 9
15 On the day the Tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered it. But from evening until morning the cloud over the Tabernacle looked like a pillar of fire. 16 This was the regular pattern—at night the cloud that covered the Tabernacle had the appearance of fire. 17 Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp.
22 Whether the cloud stayed above the Tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, the people of Israel stayed in camp and did not move on. But as soon as it lifted, they broke camp and moved on.

This reading reminds me of a Matt Redman song from a few years back. The first verse and chorus of this song say it way better than I could hope to, so check out these lyrics:
Lord, let Your glory fall
As on that ancient day
Songs of enduring love
And then Your glory came
And as a sign to You
That we would love the same
Our hearts will sing that song
God, let Your glory come

You are good, You are good
And Your love endures
You are good, You are good
And Your love endures
Today
While we don’t see a cloud or pillar of fire, we can follow God’s glory when we follow the Words of Jesus Christ. That involves more than the warm fuzzies from singing a song. It requires the hard work of knowing what God’s Word says (by studying it), and putting it into practice every day. Lord, let Your Glory Fall on me, and let me follow Your Glory whenever, wherever to accomplish Your purpose!
