The Lord's grace is sufficient but I do not like taking it for granted. How do we become so in love that we recognize our starvation for Christ? I spent very little time with the Lord the past four days and I knew heading into a break from routine that it would be an issue. But, I was so grateful for the Lord's willingness to accept me at any time, under any circumstances, for any length of time. If you will surrender your heart to the Lord, you will reap a harvest.
Let's dive back in. Leviticus 6
Now that the Lord has established the sacrificial system he returns his attention to the priests and making sure that they are fully aware of their role's. As a former vocational minister I am aware of the responsibilities that are placed upon us to shoulder the wait of God's people. Ministry sounds fun and easy but that is not how it was designed. God has very high expectations for the priests. They are the go-between for God and his people and the responsibility they carry is not to be taken lightly. I think they have a healthier understanding of the sanctity of worship than anyone else and God is trying to make it clear to us that he is to be served with honor and reverence. The Tabernacle was a place of worship and a earthly housing for God. Everyone new what it was there for and had a reverence toward it. What is your tabernacle? It should be our bodies. The Holy Spirit resides with us and we no long have a veiled relationship with our creator but we may approach the throne of grace with freedom and confidence. Praise God for granting us access at anytime, place or under any circumstances.
"Lord, I pray that you who continue to give me eye's that view life through an eternal perspective. I want to see you for who you are and fall more deeply in love with you."
