My eyes attached to the
final two verses of the chapter, which were also the final word regarding the
building of the tabernacle and all its furnishings. The text reads: The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD
had commanded Moses. Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just
as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them (42-43).
The Israelites did all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Four words in particular caught my attention, just as the LORD. And for this Moses
blessed them.
I found myself pondering
all of this, pondering obedience to the Lord and the blessing it brings. Jesus’
words to the faithful servant launched in my mind: well done good and faithful servant, come and enter
my father’s blessedness… (Matthew
25:23).
Like the blessing Moses
gave, this one Jesus talks about grows out of
faithfulness…
Hmmm… how am I doing in
regard to faithfulness?
Lord, show
me. Lord, reveal to me how I am doing, where I need to grow. Give me a reverence
and obedience to Your Word. It seems there is so much in Your Word I should be
about. Lead me, direct me. And Lord, please strengthen my weak places so that I
will follow You. And Lord, in my strong places teach me humility that I might
stumble and fall.
For Your
honor and glory I live…
To Your honor
and glory I pledge my life… through Jesus, the Lord, I pray.
Amen.
