There are certain divine principles according to which God works. His glory is seen only when we are willing to abide by those principles. In Exodus 40, we see how the glory came by the fulfilling of those divine principles. In verse 16,19,21,23,25,27,29,32 and 33 we read this phrase:- “As the Lord commanded Moses.” And in the last verse, “So Moses finished the work”. Then in Exo.40:34, “And the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle”.
That fragment, “As the Lord commanded Moses” is repeated as if the Lord himself was examining the whole work which had been done, and He was fully satisfied in every small detail. It is only when the work is finished according to God’s standard that the Glory comes down. That is how the Bible defines the descent of the Glory of God.
See what our Lord Himself says in John 4:34, “My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.” It is only when a work is finished according to God’s perfect revealed will, and according to His heavenly plan, that at His command the Glory comes down. Just the mere manifestation of some power or miracle or sign is not God’s glory. It is a finished and complete work, done according to His command and order, which brings down the full Glory of God.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“Your father knoweth what things ye have need of” Matt.6:8.
