45 Then I will dwell among the Israelites and be their God. 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. Exodus 29:45-46 NIV
The Lord is intentional in and with every detail. Order matters to Him. First we see the 10 Commandments written, and then we read all about the preparation and sacrifices to build the Tabernacle and the requirement for the priestly garments. We learn all of this was required for the Lord to be able to dwell among the Israelites. What an order!
Let us NOT take for granted the gift of the Lord being with us and in us!
Thank you God for sending Your Son to die on the cross for me. It is because of His death on the cross and His resurrection that Your spirit lives in me and I no longer have to follow all these rituals and rules to be in close proximity with You. I have You with me at all times, Lord. Please do not let me take that for granted, not for one second. Thank YOU, Thank You, Thank You, for this beautiful gift. In Jesus' name, Amen.
