As I was reading commentary on today’s verses, I came across this little nugget: “the trousers were to be made of cool linen, instead of warm wool. God doesn’t want His servants to sweat.” My immediate response was to laugh. How silly to think the God of all creation would be thinking of details this minute.

However, I’m one of those people who believes that God chooses to show up in the little details of our lives. That parking spot that opened up exactly when I needed? I see You, God.

Exodus 28:42 “Make linen undergarments as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh.

Thank You–for loving us fiercely, for sprinkling unexpected reminders of Your love in our days, for covering us with grace and mercy we don’t deserve. Amen.
Exodus 28:43 Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. “This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.
Have a blessed day.
