Exodus 29
-The commands for consecration, ordination, and anointing
the priests of the LORD are given here in this chapter. There are specific
rules and guidelines that are to be followed for proper order and designation
of the holy place where the LORD would meet with His people. The key factor is
that He is the LORD their God who brought them out of the land of Egypt
(slavery, a metaphor for sin and the lost and dying life before Christ’s
salvation). God would dwell with them as their LORD. This is absolutely
significant and necessitates a solemn set of rituals to purify the holy place.
*Application* What do we do to consecrate our lives before God? He has
expectations for us that our laid out for us in the Scriptures. He expects us
to abide by these good precepts for wisdom, success, favor, and blessing.
Shunning the Word of the LORD has disastrous consequences in our lives. Pay
attention to what He tells you to do for the sake of obedience and proper
fellowship with Him. You won’t regret it even though there may be pain in the offering;
persecution and testing are what I am referring to here. God desires to dwell with
us just as much as He did when the children of Israel. Let Him walk beside you through
His Holy Spirit. You’ll experience the most amazing things in life! He is our comforter,
counselor, convictor, illuminator, enabler, and helper (Acts 1:8, John 14:26). This
is the abundant life that the LORD wants you to have in Him (John 10:10).
