Our Father, I volunteer to join you in building a better world. Take out the giants. Rub out injustice. Deliver the innocent and the vulnerable from evil. Use me in whatever way you see fit to extend your kingdom rule and reign. Amen.

But many of the older priests, Levites, and family heads, who had seen the first temple, wept loudly when they saw the foundation of this temple, but many others shouted joyfully.

Daily D – Ezekiel 43:1-5

The glory of the Lord entered the temple by way of the gate that faced east. Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the inner court, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.
