Exodus 26-29

Here we find a stretch of texts that give great detail to Moses about their place of worship, priestly garments, and some beginning instruction regarding the activities of worship. On occasion, do some research and discover some of the rich imagery that awaits us. All this detail is not the sign of an obsessive compulsive God, come on, every things He says and does is with great intentionality. He created us as visually stimulated people and He leverages this as He instructs us and also commands us to remember.

For example, in Numbers 15:37-41, the priests are instructed to have tassels on the corners of their garments...for the purpose of reminding the people every time they saw those tassels, that God has decrees that are to be obeyed, by choice, engaging our will in obedience. This sets us apart from organic life on earth that is exclusively compulsive, only instinctive. We have a human will. God fills this world with visual imagery to remind us to engage our wills in obedience to Him.

What are you being reminded of today that you need to engage your will in obedience to God? Follow Him!! Trust Him!! Obey Him!!
