Exodus 37:22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.
I’m still working on trying to be still, trying to notice all the little details, trying to rest in God instead of hurrying and striving. Honestly, it’s frustratingly difficult for me at this point, which frustrates me further. and I’ve noticed recently an anxiety spiral within myself, one I don’t like and am actively trying to understand.
Exodus 37:23 They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold.
So, this morning, to the end of stopping said anxiety spiral, I googled “What does the Bible say about being still?” and just seeing the many, many verses about being still in Him and waiting in hope for Him helped me breathe a bit easier. Psalm 62:5 spoke to me particularly this morning, “For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him.”
Exodus 37:24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent of pure gold.
Precious Savior, Thank You for helping me to turn to You and Your word when I feel my anxiety begin to spiral. Thank You for putting Psalm 62:5 in my path this morning. Help me to get better at waiting in silence and hoping in You alone. Amen.
Exodus 37:25 They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high —its horns of one piece with it.
Have a blessed day.
