With meticulous detail, every last instruction was followed in preparing a tabernacle for the Lord.  Now it was time to consecrate the tabernacle--time to anoint it with oil and set it apart for Holy use.  And time to set apart the priests by anointing them for God's service.

Then the glory of the Lord descended on the Tabernacle and Tent of Meeting.  So much so that Moses couldn't enter the Tent of Meeting.

God no longer "tabernacles" in a structure built by human hands.  He "tabernacles" in us.  Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.

He calls us to consecrate our bodies and become the vessels he can fill with His glory.  He longs for you to give yourself wholly to Him; to become a holy vessel he will use for his glory.

"Therefore I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship."

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." 1 Thess 5:23-24


With Joy,

Pastor Jeff
