Ezekiel 43-45

It took me about 15 minutes to read this passage.  How do we respond when we catch a glimpse of God?  Twice in this vision Ezekiel saw the glory of God and fell down before him in reverence.  (in 44:5 Gods words seemed sharp, but that may just be a translation issue)  Ezekiel was filled with fear and awe because of Gods glory.  I dont believe that I have witnessed the shekinah of Gods presence, but I know that I have seen the active and completed work of his hand.  Some of these times I have been like Ezekiel; in total awe of what God is doing.  At other times I have been amazed at the beauty of his work.  And I know that there are other times when I noticed Gods work, but paid no attention and kept walking by.  Sometimes when I ignored him God reminded me later.  I would like to avoid such oblivion in the future.  God is truly great and deserves all of my attention and worship.
