His thoughts, His actions thru me.

He will lay both of his hands on the goat’s head and confess over it all the wickedness, rebellion, and sins of the people of Israel. In this way, he will transfer the people’s sins to the head of the goat. 

 You must not imitate their way of life. 4You must obey all my regulations and be careful to obey my decrees, for I am the Lord your God. 5If you obey my decrees and my regulations, you will find life through them. I am the Lord.

“Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I am driving out before you have defiled themselves in all these ways. 25Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.

Lord God my Father,

Purify my thoughts for they define my actions. May I only be pleasing to you and bring honor to you with my existence. Keep me safe from temptation by the world and give me discernment on how to engage others. Keep my spirit in your peace and protected so my thoughts don’t interfere with your plan.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Cary His Justice His way.

“If one of Israel’s leaders sins by violating one of the commands of the Lord his God but doesn’t realize it, he is still guilty. 

Lord God my Father,

Cleanse me of my sinful nature, allow your Truth and Justice overwhelm my thoughts so they are pure. Help me to deal with injustice by surrendering it to your care and not feel vengeful for my sake.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

His journey for me

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.

The cloud of the Lord hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.

Lord God my Father,

Calm my thoughts so I may follow your instructions perfectly, allow me to see your presence all around me as I travel the journey you designed for me.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Delightful service

“The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the Lord has commanded us to do!”

“Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!”

Lord God my Father,

Shape my heart so I may desire to serve you with great delight.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Humble without condition

And I will send an angel before you to drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

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.”

 the Lord 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.

 Yes, this is a stubborn and rebellious people, but please forgive our iniquity and our sins. Claim us as your own special possession.”

All whose hearts were stirred and whose spirits were moved came and brought their sacred offerings to the Lord. 

every man and woman who was eager to help in the work the Lord had given them through Moses—brought their gifts and gave them freely to the Lord.

Lord God my Father,

Help me to quiet my thoughts so I am patient and allow you to do your plan and I can join you as you wish. Soften my stubborn ways and allow me to share time with you as you designed it, as friends. Let me know your ways and understand as you wish me to. Forgive me for my stubborn ways and serve you as my heart stirs for you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Single purpose, His

“Whenever you take a census of the people of Israel, each man who is counted must pay a ransom for himself to the Lord.

Never use this formula to make this incense for yourselves. It is reserved for the Lord, and you must treat it as holy. 38Anyone who makes incense like this for personal use will be cut off from the community.”

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. 

You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the Lord. 

“Come on,” they said, “make us some gods who can lead us. We don’t know what happened to this fellow Moses, who brought us here from the land of Egypt.”

The Lord told Moses, “Quick! Go down the mountain! Your people whom you brought from the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves. 8How quickly they have turned away from the way I commanded them to live! 

But Moses tried to pacify the Lord his God. “O Lord!” he said. 

Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people! 

Moses saw that Aaron had let the people get completely out of control, much to the amusement of their enemies.

But the Lord replied to Moses, “No, I will erase the name of everyone who has sinned against me. 

Lord God my Father,

Help me to identify and use the gifts you gave me and sharpen them for your Glory to be released. Give me strength to follow the wisdom you give me, cause me to be obedient to you only. Use me to bring your Truth and healing power to my family and others.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

He’s in everything,,

Instruct all the skilled craftsmen whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom. 

a special gift presented to the Lord.

Then I will live among the people of Israel and be their God, 46and they will know that I am the Lord their God. I am the one who brought them out of the land of Egypt so that I could live among them. I am the Lord their God.

Lord God my Father,

Fill me with your wisdom and help me to seek you in the essence of every moment this day.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen

Unity with God

“You must not dishonor God or curse any of your rulers.

“You must not pass along false rumors. You must not cooperate with evil people by lying on the witness stand.2“You must not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you are called to testify in a dispute, do not be swayed by the crowd to twist justice. 3And do not slant your testimony in favor of a person just because that person is poor.

 All the people answered with one voice, “We will do everything the Lord has commanded.”

In fact, they ate a covenant meal, eating and drinking in his presence!

Lord God my Father,

Forgive me for not lifting the leaders as I should, I pray they find you. Keep my heart pure and protected from temptation, keep my motives pure. Help me to bring unity to my family and friends and spread your Truth in the world.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
