Edwards was always nearly impossible for me to read because his thoughts were God-inspired but really complex and obscure. The Israelites called the glory of God "Shekinah", and it followed them throughout the 40-year wilderness thing, manifesting itself in some extraordinary and astonishing phenomena. You make me think, buddy. By the way, I think very few of us have had much of an encounter with the "Glory of God". When Moses hung out with God in Sinai for 40 days (I think), the "Glory of God" caused his face to shine so brightly that his peeps couldn't even look at him (sunglasses weren't available at that time). What a goal to aspire to, and what a place to be at...in the middle of the glory of God. But more attainable now than 4,000 ago, because Christ tore down the veil that separated the rest of us from the Glory of God (Ephesians), so that we could enter "boldly the throneroom of grace" (Hebrews). Thanks dude, Steve Durk,

WOW.... just alittle light reading tonight! I loved it so much. Very thought provoking... I want to make sure I am understanding it clearly. Basically what you are saying is... our greatest pleasure for God is to give him glory! We give him Joy when we do well. Am I understanding it? I am ever working on growing stronger in him, this will forever be my journey.... Love to you and your family... thank you for being part of my choices family..... Katy Durk,
