Ezekiel 10:4 Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord.
The title of this chapter is “God’s Glory Departs From the Temple.” As with many chapters in the Bible, there’s a lot going on here that I don’t understand. But as with every time I earnestly seek my Savior, He is using these words to speak to my heart.
Ezekiel 10:18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.
Today is a busy day. This week is busier than most. These aren’t bad things, but I find them stressful. As I have read and studied this chapter this morning, the main thing God keeps laying on my heart is the reminder that He is still here, still with me—in the stress, in the busyness. God says He will never leave me nor forsake me, and He always keeps His promises.
Ezekiel 10:19 While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this promise. Thank You for the reminder that You are with me always and that I will find You when I seek You with my whole heart. Help me, especially during this stressfully busy week, to hold tightly to Your presence and Your promise. Help me to lay my stress and my worries at Your feet and to wrap myself in Your peace. Amen.
Ezekiel 10:20 These were the living creatures I had seen beneath the God of Israel by the Kebar River, and I realized that they were cherubim.
Have a blessed day.
