[S] 2 Chronicles 7:1-2 --
1 When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.2 The priests could not enter the temple of the Lord because the glory of the Lord filled it.
[O] What a scene this must have been. I was impressed by Solomon's prayer and how he praised God sincerely and as soon as he finished his prayer, God's glory filled the temple. This overwhelming presence of God prohibited the priests from entering the temple. Most likely it was clear for everyone there that God was present.
[A] When I pray, I should expect the "fire" from heaven come down to consume my prayer offering and the glory of God fill my surroundings like a thick fog welling up. When I worship on Sundays I should expect God's glory to pack into our sanctuary so everyone will know that God is there with us.
[P] Dear Father, may my prayer lifted up to You be not just mere words but an anticipation of Your presence being clearly displayed in our midst. In Jesus' name. Amen.
