Dealing with frustration…. (devo reflection)

Exodus 26:18-19 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle and make forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 

Dear Lord, I find myself wanting to just parrot the words of commentary today simply because these verses are still dealing with so many little details and I am tired and frustrated. Help me to see this information with fresh eyes instead of with the frustration of a never-ending laundry list.

Exodus 26:20-21 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 

Heavenly Father, I’ve got at least three more days in this book of Exodus and 14 more chapters in Exodus in total, and I already feel myself getting snippy and grumpy. Help me to breathe, to take a step back, to approach Your word with fresh eyes and a calm heart. 

Exodus 26:22-23 Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, and make two frames for the corners at the far end. 

Precious Savior, I don’t know why I’m struggling so with frustration with the content of this book. I don’t know why I’m grumpy and distracted and so ready to be done. Help me to lay my burdens at Your feet, to wrap Your peace around my shoulders, to draw closer to You, always. Amen.

Exodus 26:24-25 At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that. So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

Have a blessed day.
