There are all kinds of clouds. The cirrus clouds that are light a and wispy. There are the stratus clouds. They look like thin, white sheets covering the whole sky. Since they are so thin, they seldom produce much rain or snow. Then there are Cumulus clouds. These clouds look like fluffy, white cotton balls in the sky. They are beautiful in sunsets, and their varying sizes and shapes can make them fun to observe! Of course we can’t forget about Cumulonimbus clouds. They are classic “thunderstorm clouds” and are large towering clouds that are often dark in color. Seeing them is a sign that a storm is likely brewing.
However I want to talk about a different type of cloud. It’s a cloud of goodness. When it rolls in, healing and miracles are showered down on men. As worship and expectancy continually arise, and every one has their focus on Christ, there are miracles of every sort. Is there a limb crippled, is a leg too short? Miracles descend upon the waiting masses, and all are filled with wonder and amazement. Men begin to sing out loud, that God is present in the “Glory Cloud.”
Ezekiel 10:4
Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’S glory.
2 Chronicles 5:14
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God
1 Kings 8:7
so that the priests could not stand there to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD
