DAILY DEVOTIONAL – April 3, 2024 The Importance of God’s Glory By David Wilkerson “There will be a tabernacle for shade in the daytime from the heat, for a place of refuge, and for a shelter from storm and rain” (Isaiah 4:6, NKJV).  The glory of God’s presence will be our shelter from the heat. The Hebrew word for heat means “drought, desolation, barrenness”, and here it is used as a type of God’s judgment on an evil society. In Revelation 16, the fourth angel of judgment is given power “…to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God…” (Revelation 16:8-9). The glory of God is our defense, our covering, a place of refuge from storm and rain; and we will rest in the cool shadow of Jesus’s wings.  Already we are seeing the rain of Holy Spirit outpourings as well as God’s judgments.  The storm clouds are gathering; but, thank God, there will be a covering over his holy remnant church. You may say, “I have no glory church I can attend.  All I can find are man-centered churches.  Where is my covering from the heat and storm?” Your dwelling place is the glory of God in your own heart.  If Jesus is present in you, manifesting himself to you, then you are covered in full.  If you turn your heart and eyes toward him, allowing his Word to reprove, convict and correct you, he will reveal himself to you.  He has promised it! “He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him” (John 14:21). God says, “I will be there with you.  It doesn’t matter how bad it gets, I will see you through.  I will never leave you nor forsake you!” Read and Listen OnlineForward to a Friend
