"Then He brought me by
way of the north gate to the front of the temple; and I looked, and lo! the
glory of the Lord filled with temple of the Lord; and I fell upon my face"
(Ezekiel 44:4).
Seeing the sun rise
this morning over Mt. Juneau in this far northern land of Alaska, Your Holy
Spirit is bringing to mind the north gate of the temple. As Ezekiel came to the
north gate, he looked and saw the glory of the Lord fill the temple. And he was
undone. He fell to his face in worship and awe of Your manifest
Presence.
Lord, let this northern
gate of America be a place where the people of God fall on their faces in
worship. Let it be a place where the glory of Your manifest Presence comes
rushing into our land again like a mighty, rushing river of revival. Open up
this gate, O God, "that the King of glory may come in" (Psalm 24:7).
As in the days of
Ezekiel, show us the things in our hearts and in our land that are hindrances to
a great move of Your Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 44:6-8). Convict us of our sins, heal
us of our wounds, and free us from our chains. By the blood of Jesus, cleanse
our hearts and our land to welcome Your Spirit afresh in the temple of our
lives. Draw us to a deeper place of intimacy with You, as we honor Your Word and
welcome Your Spirit in wholly surrendered, passionate worship of You alone
(Ezekiel 44:15-31). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In
