S – The cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ Moses was unable to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud rested on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 

Exodus 40:34–35 CSB

O – Commentary:

The climax of the Exodus occurred when the glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. God’s goal from the outset was not merely to deliver his people from their bondage, but to bring them into a relationship with himself. Their real need was to know God personally in their lives. Without that, the Promised Land would not be a land of promise. Now it would be, because the glory that had been on Mount Sinai was in Israel’s midst; it would not be left behind, but would travel with them wherever they might go.

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – We are the “modern-day tabernacles.”  God doesn’t dwell in a tent but His Spirit lives in us.  The question we face – “Does the glory of the Lord radiate out to others?”  The word “glory” means “weight, splendor, distinction and honor.”  Do we allow His glory to work through us and do we demonstrate His qualities and character?

R – Heavenly Father, thank you that you live in me today.  I invite your Holy Spirit to work in me so that my thoughts, words and actions align with you.  May Your presence in me be seen outwardly and that Your glory will be real to others.
