Unity

It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when thy lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord. So that the priest could not stand (continue) to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God – 2nd Chronicles 5:13-14.

Solomon, and the elders of Israel, had done what they could to grace the solemnity of the introduction of the ark; but God, by testifying His acceptance of what they did, put the greatest honor upon it.

Keep Focus

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt – Matthew 14:30-31?

Peter and the disciples were in a boat at sea being tossed about by a boisterous wind. Peter saw Jesus walking on water towards them.

But their minds were blinded (made dull) for until this day remaineth the same veil untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the veil is upon their hearts. Nevertheless, when it (one) shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away. – 2nd Corinthians 3:14-16.

When Moses came down Mount Sinai with the Ten Commandments, his face glowed because of being in God’s presence. He put on a veil to keep the people from being terrified by the brightness of his face. Moses and his veil illustrates the fading away of the old system and the veiling of the people’s mind and understanding with their pride, hardness of heart and refusal to repent. Read More
