Priestly Garments Made, Tabernacle Set Up (Feb 15)

God's instructions continue to be carried out with precision and excellence during the production of the priestly garments.  Think of the awesome sight of the Priest wearing the gemstone decorated breastpiece with; gold and silver; blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; ruby, topaz, emerald and amethyst to name a few of the gemstones.

When all was done, Moses inspected the work and saw that it was done just as the Lord commanded. So Moses blessed them.

The Lord then commands to do a set up on the first day of the first month.  It was done and the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.  The cloud of the Lord was used as a guide to the Israelites to stay put or to move and was in sight of all the house of Israel during all their travels.

Thoughts:

How are you, and how can others tell that you are keeping your sight on God, on Jesus?

Do you use your God given talents and skills to their fullest when doing your work?

What are you trying to keep from God's sight?  What are the effects of that?  Will you bring that action, event, problem, habit, addiction or item to God in prayer and ask through Christ's blood forgiveness and for the Spirit's strength to repent?  Do it now.  Time is short.


In Christ
