Today's Scripture: Exodus 29
Reading this chapter I am amazed by the level of detail involved in the ceremony of consecrating the priests. I would by no means refer to myself as a priest, but I am called to minister in the Lord's name. This challenges my view of how committed I am as a minister for God. I mean to think that there was a time when God called someone to be His mouthpiece, and they had to perform this very detailed ceremony before He would use them is astonishing and humbling to me.
Any of the passages in the Old Testament that explain, in great detail, how to perform or construct something should be a testimony to how involved and committed God expects His people to be. How often do we think to ourselves that what we do for God is "good enough"? Looking at the great detail in these directions I would have to say that God is very much concerned with the little things in our lives. Which means we should see every instruction and command from God with the same importance--whether it be do not kill or be in the Word daily. God gives blessings and receives glory in even the smallest acts of obedience from us.
Praise the Lord that we don't have to be perfect to be called his child, but let it not leave our focus that He desires complete reverence from us in all things.
