Series: Taste of His Presence

Title: Taste of His Presence | Part 2: Forget the Shenanigans...I Want the Shekinah

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 7:1-6 (NKJV)

1 When Solomon had 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 And the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled the Lord’s house. 3 When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and worshiped and praised the Lord, saying: “For He is good, For His mercy endures forever.” 4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the Lord. 5 King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God. 6 And the priests attended to their services; the Levites also with instruments of the music of the Lord, which King David had made to praise the Lord, saying, “For His mercy endures forever,” whenever David offered praise by their ministry. The priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel stood.

Synopsis: A taste of the presence of God is experienced in worship. Each time we spend in worship is our time to let go of ourselves so that we can commune with God. This is what happened when Solomon dedicated the temple. There was no room for the human element because the spirit of God filled the room. In other words, there was no place for our shenanigans, there was only room for the Shekinah glory of God. Let's get a taste.
