Exodus 40:22-33
November 22, 2024
He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil, and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle, and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle. And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses. He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing, with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet. When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses. And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So, Moses finished the work.
What if we, who are followers of Christ, were obedient to what the Lord has commanded us to do as those workmen and women in obedient to what the Lord had commanded Moses? Would the Church see the Wind of the Spirit of God moving in their lives? Would our neighbors see that we put their interests as important as ours?
What if we, the followers of Christ, examined ourselves and asked the Holy Spirit to guide us as He did? Moses and the people who were obedient to what God had told them. We do not need the water in a basin to wash our hands and feet, but just ask, and knock, and the door to our ministry will be open.
