THE CLOUD

PRAYER MOMENT  


Thursday 30 July 2015


THE CLOUD


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “At every stage of their journey, whenever the cloud rose from the tabernacle the sons of Israel would resume their march. If the cloud did not rise, they waited...” (Exodus 40:34-38)


Reflection. Our exerpts from Exodus close with an elaborate description of the construction of the Ark of the Covenant and we are told that the “cloud rested on it and the glory of the Lord filled it.” As always, we reflect on the meaning of these “signs” which are themselves prophecies that there will be a “new covenant in my body” and “my Fatrher and I will dwell in you.” The cloud remains in that the mystery we live is often hidden from us. We are wise when we make no important decisions until the cloud lifts and we can see our way more clearly.  


Prayer. Lord, help us to be sensitive to your presence and wait for you. Amen
