Be set apart for the LORD

“This is the law (Instruction) of the temple: The whole area surrounding the mountaintop is most holy. Behold, this is the law of the temple.” Ezekiel 43:12

We are the people of the LORD. We need to understand we are also His temple! With that in mind, we need to be holy (set apart), not ordinary, just fitting into the world around us!

“Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”

1 Corinthians 3:16

We need to remember, that the LORD dwells inside us and that we belong to Him! So we should really think and pray about what we say, where we go and how we act!

“For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture. And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice.”

Psalm 95:7

In other words, we really need to be listening for the voice of the LORD! Why? Because we are His sheep and we need to be holy (set apart) for Him! Don’t fit into the world, but instead be set apart for the LORD! Have a blessed day in Him.

Remove the junk

“You shall not offer strange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering; nor shall you pour a drink offering on it.”

Exodus 30:9 NKJB

We all need to check and take account of what we allow into our homes, cars and minds! We should also check where we go, what we post and how much time we waste on things! Because these things affect how we interact (Pray) with the LORD. They can be strange offerings!

“Who may go up to the mountain of Adonai? Who can stand in His holy place? Those with clean hands and pure hearts, who don’t make vanities the purpose of their lives or swear oaths just to deceive.”

Psalm 24:3-4 CJB

Today is a good day to check and remove things that may be strange! Realize, it’s the LORD who saves, but we can do our part and remove bad thoughts, attitudes and lifestyle choices!

“Do not turn to the right or the left; Remove your foot from evil.”

Proverbs 4:27 NKJB

The Lord has given us all discernment we should know right from wrong, good or bad and simply remove what’s not godly! Don’t allow strange things to come into your life! Have a blessed day offering up sweet aromas to the LORD!

It takes a little effort

“I will dwell among the children of Israel and be their God.”

Exodus 29:45

When we read through these chapters we can see how much effort it took to walk with the LORD! The good news is He is with us every step of the way, but we still need to put Some effort into walking with Him, we need to participate!

“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

Deuteronomy 31:8

Life always comes with its daily set of trials, things we have to work through. Ask yourself how much effort do you put in the trials and how much effort do you put in with the LORD? Often times we’ll find that we spend way more time on life’s situations than with the LORD!

‘He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8

Today, realize, every situation that you walk through the LORD is well aware of it! How you got there, why you got there and how you will get through it? So it would make sense for us to spend more time with Him, resting in Him, because He knows the final outcome! let’s dwell in the presence of the LORD today! Have a blessed day walking with Him.
