**Ezekiel 10:3** — *"Now when the man went in, the cherubim were standing on the south side of the temple, and a cloud filled the inner court."*
The cloud did not fill the outer court. It filled the *inner* court — the place of consecrated access, where only priests could dwell.
This is not incidental geography. Ezekiel records a God who moves with precision, whose glory does not scatter randomly but *settles* — deliberately, specifically, in the place prepared for His presence.
We sometimes treat God's nearness as ambient, like background light. But Scripture testifies to something far more intentional: a holy God who draws close to consecrated space and consecrated hearts.
The cherubim stood. The cloud came. The order mattered.
Consider the invitation embedded in that image — not to seek a God who is vaguely near, but to abide in the inner court of covenant faithfulness, where His glory finds a place to dwell.
Let us reflect on what we have prepared for Him to fill.
