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 God’s words seemed sharp, but that may just be a translation issue) Ezekiel was filled with fear and awe because of God’s glory. I don’t believe that I have witnessed the shekinah of God’s 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 God’s 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.
