His way, best

So the people of Israel did everything as the Lord had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the Lord had instructed them.

Lord God my Father,

Thank you for your detailed instruction for living in abundance. Help me to identify areas of my life to bring under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Live with and for Him

“If you want to live securely in the land, follow my decrees and obey my regulations. 19Then the land will yield large crops, and you will eat your fill and live securely in it.

The land must never be sold on a permanent basis, for the land belongs to me. You are only foreigners and tenant farmers working for me.

I will live among you, and I will not despise you. 12I will walk among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.

You may not pick and choose between good and bad animals, and you may not substitute one for another. But if you do exchange one animal for another, then both the original animal and its substitute will be considered holy and cannot be bought back.”

Lord God my Father,

I wish to live with you not against you. Purify my heart from my youthful way and place me in the present where you are in complete control. May I please you with my thoughts and actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Tired of me, I want to live as He designed.

These are the instructions for dealing with serious skin diseases,14:54 Traditionally rendered leprosy; see note on 13:2a. including scabby sores; 55and mildew,14:55 Traditionally rendered leprosy; see note on 13:47.whether on clothing or in a house;


“This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.

Lord God my Father,

You have spelled out how to live with detail. Lord God I pray you will give me strength to follow your plan, I am resistant and wish to be obedient now but my past keeps calling. Protect me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Details

“These are the instructions for dealing with mildew that contaminates woolen or linen clothing or fabric or anything made of leather. This is how the priest will determine whether these items are ceremonially clean or unclean.”

Lord God my Father,

You have such detailed instructions for proper living. Thank you for the instructions. I wish to live by your desire alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Strength in Grace

Fire blazed forth from the Lord’s presence and consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar. When the people saw this, they shouted with joy and fell face down on the ground.

Lord God my Father,

I pray to you to bring me closer to living in your will. I am suborn and weak and I need your power to change. Your grace is amazing and I wish to live closer to how you created me to live.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Why choose death?

The animal sacrificed as a guilt offering must be slaughtered at the place where the burnt offerings are slaughtered, and its blood must be splattered against all sides of the altar.

Lord God my Father,

The penalty for sin is death, Lord God, I am a sinner, I ask Lord for you to give me power over the sin I carry so I may surrender it to you. I wish to live only by your favor.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the front of the ephod, below the shoulder-pieces, just above the knot where the decorative sash was fastened to the ephod. 21They attached the bottom rings of the chestpiece to the rings on the ephod with blue cords. In this way, the chestpiece was held securely to the ephod above the decorative sash.

So the people of Israel followed all of the Lord’s instructions to Moses. 43Then Moses inspected all their work. When he found it had been done just as the Lord had commanded him, he blessed them.

Lord God my Father,

The detail you laid out for my life is amazing, Lord God, help me to follow it and turn away from my way. I have proven my way causes harm, I wish to experience your way but I am weak. Lord give me strength to follow you and protection from the past.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Why do I choose to be stuck?

 But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.”

“You are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I were to travel with you for even a moment, I would destroy you. 

Inside the Tent of Meeting, theLord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.

If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor.

The Lord replied to Moses, “I will indeed do what you have asked, for I look favorably on you,

But listen carefully to everything I command you today. Then I will go ahead of you and drive out

Both men and women came, all whose hearts were willing.

The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

Lord God my Father,

I struggle with you, I struggle to give up control of my life to your care. It is all I want but the struggle remains. Soften my heart and reveal your power to overcome my weakness so I may follow your plan,

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
