Scripture to Read: Exodus 39:1–31
In Exodus 39:1–31, we find how Bezalel and the craftsmen made the holy garments for Aaron to wear while ministering in the Holy Place, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Each piece was made exactly according to the specifications God had laid out. Everything had to be just as God commanded for Aaron and his sons to be able to minister in the Holy Place because they were entering into God’s Tabernacle. We have so much to thank our Lord Jesus Christ for because, as His children, we are in God’s presence at all times. God has chosen to live in us (Ephesians 4:30, 1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and His throne room of grace is open to us at all times. God reminds us of what Christ has done for us in Hebrews 4:14–16, “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Because of Christ, we have the privilege of fellowshipping with our Creator and as we do, we receive the fullness of His grace and mercy for every need in our lives. Let’s not miss out on what we have through Christ to fellowship with Him daily.
