in all your ways acknowledge him.......

Let us acknowledge God, Yahweh, the Lord.

Let us press on to know God (and be known).

As surely as the sun rises, he’s soared

above the mountains, clouds and trees, he's shown!

Above humanity, through History,

“the Lord who will appear”, has now done so.

His glory and his cloud of mystery

that tented with his people long ago,

and then appeared above the cov’nant box

to his anointed priest, there once a year,

came down in tent and temple (which unlocks

the presence of the God who “will appear”).

Because the thing about this True God is

to see his face is like a tree of life,

humanity has been banished from this

till new-created, they could be his wife.

Thus with this old creation’s kind of life,

our eyes cannot see God and just “keep on”

(this is a mercy that he has contrived)

our God, and Father, who is good, and strong.

They said that “He would come to us like rain”,

welcome and refreshing when it’s needed,

which falls to Earth to bring new life again

in season, at home right time for ground seeded.

They said that there one day the Lord would come

into his temple, once again to be

with all his people (not only just some),

and build that temple up- as “God’s”, “Holy”!

The Lord said to Moses: ‘Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.  Lev. 16:2 NIV

Let us acknowledge the Lord. Let us press on to know God. As surely as the sun rises, the Lord will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rains that water the earth. Hosea 6:3 (PM Version)

‘I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,’ says the Lord Almighty.  Mal. 3:1 NIVUK
