“You shall also make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side there shall be hangings for the court made of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long for one side.” Exodus 27:9

As we read through this text, look at all the time and effort put into making a place to praise and worship the LORD! How much time and effort do we invest into the LORD?

“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” Psalm 100:4

God doesn’t need praise because He is insecure, He is totally secure in who He is! On the other hand we often need praise because we are insecure, this is why we need to put effort into praising the LORD, we need the security of God!

‘The LORD lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let God be exalted, The Rock of my salvation!” 2 Samuel 22:47

As you get going today no matter where you are at put some effort into worshipping and praising the LORD! Remember you and I really need Him in every part of our lives! Have a blessed day praising the LORD!

“You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy.”

Exodus 26:34

As you read this chapter you can begin to realize the work that went into the building of the wilderness Tabernacle. Anytime we are working on a major work project or just life in general we can have issues! Where we will need Mercy!

“Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy on us! For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.” Psalm 123:3

As we trudge through this thing called life, realize like our Hebrew brothers here in Exodus we can and do get overwhelmed with the world around us! We can and do stumble getting into all kinds of trouble. That’s when we need to look to the testimonies of the LORD and bask in His mercy!

“Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

So today as you are trudging and stumbling through life! Remember the LORD has you covered and He is full of mercy and grace! Have a blessed day looking to Him and for Him!

“Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering.” Exodus 25:2

The LORD desires us to give with a willing heart! Not just our finances and services, but He desires us to give ourselves as well.

“I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourself as a sacrifice, living and set apart for God. This will please him; it is logical worship for you.” Romans 12:1 CJB

Offering ourselves to the LORD is our reasonable service to Him! The LORD is asking us to simply just serve Him! He wants to be full of life and joy as we serve Him!

“Serve the LORD with gladness, Come before His presence with singing.” Psalm 100:2

Today let us have a willing heart to just serve the LORD, give to Him all we have! Realize we can’t out give Him! So let us have a blessed day serving Him!

“As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, Follow Me, So he arose and followed Him.” Mark 2:14

No matter what your situation is the LORD is calling you to follow Him! Don’t make excuses, life is really to short and the LORD is calling you and me.

“He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness and honor.” Proverbs 21:21

When we follow after the LORD, we will find all we are looking for! He has everything we need, He is life!

“My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:8

Today let us follow the LORD; not the news, politics or the person with good views! Jesus has all we really need and we can find all we are looking for in Him! So get into His word today and walk in His ways! Have a blessed day!

“Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Mark 1:35

We all need to take some time in our day to spend with the LORD, Jesus did! Spending time with the LORD should be a priority in our lives, but often times we fail, we get to busy or distracted.

“My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.”

Psalm 5:3

Often times when life seems to be getting out of control, the reason usually is a lack of time with the LORD! Don’t be to busy or distracted from spending time with the LORD in prayer!

“LORD, I cry out to You; Make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.” Psalm 141:1

The idea hear is to cry out to the LORD, all the time not just when crisis hits. The best advice anyone can give is to get into the practice of spending time with the LORD! We all need hear and heed that advice! Have a blessed day seeking the LORD! Shabbat Shalom!
