Exodus 29:20 “…take some of its blood and put it on the lines of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet….”
As I read Exodus 29 this morning, I was met with the same feeling of overwhelm and frustration that has marked my study of late. So many details, so many specifics. I’m not sure why, but I find it totally overwhelming.
Exodus 29:28 This will belong to Aaron and his sons as a regular portion from the Israelites….
The commentary helped with enlightenment, but as I was floundering for verses to pull and things to say, I got the very distinct sense that God wants me to see Him. Always. When I understand His word and can speak eloquently or when I’m overwhelmed and frustrated, He wants my solid foundation to be Him. He wants me to know that He is with me, He loves me, He wants a relationship with me. Always. He feels the same way about you, too.
Exodus 29:43 …There I will meet with you and speak with you….
Lord, Thank You for this day, for this scripture, for meeting me here to speak with me each morning. Thank You for loving and valuing me because I am Yours and not because of anything I can say or do. Thank You for loving me through the slogging, confusing “ugh” of this present mood and for not allowing me to wallow in self pity. Thank You for dwelling with me and being my God. Draw me closer. Amen.
Exodus 29:46 They will know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
